Résumé

Surfaces - by breaking bulk symmetries, introducing roughness, or hosting defects - can significantly influence magnetic order in magnetic materials. Determining their effect on the complex nanometer-scale phases present in certain non-centrosymmetric magnets is an outstanding problem requiring high-resolution magnetic microscopy. Here, we use scanning SQUID microscopy to image the surface of bulk Cu
