Abstract
The electric-field induced modifications of the symmetric and asymmetric exchange stiffness constants for the prototypical transition-metal system of a Co monolayer on Pt(111) are determined from first-principles calculated total energy differences of spin-spiral states with oppositely rotating magnetizations in the presence of both the external field and spin-orbit coupling. The trend underlying the modifications is shown to be linked to orbital magnetism. The results demonstrate that an electric field may be a promising approach to manipulate macroscopically magnetic textures.
