Extended Data Fig. 3

TexA(B) represents the exchange-coupling torque exerted onto the magnetic sublattice mA(B). TexA(B) = TJA(B) + TDMA(B), where TJA(B) and TDMA(B) represent the antiferromagnetic exchange-coupling torque and DM torque, respectively. Noted that a type of exchange-coupling torque can be viewed as the driving force, only when it has a component that is orthogonal to both n and p and meanwhile the driving torques exerted on the two magnetic sublattices are orientated along the opposite direction. a, Configuration where D = 0. b, Configuration where p is parallel to D. c, Configuration where p is orthogonal to D.
