Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is foundational for spintronics. The authors quantitatively established the roles of orbital hybridization and interfacial spin-orbit coupling in the determination of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, offering orbital hybridization as a degree of freedom for the development of fast, dense spintronic memory and computing technologies.
