The interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), an antisymmetric exchange interaction, gives rise to exotic spin textures such as chiral Néel domain walls and magnetic skyrmions in ferromagnet/heavy metal (HM) heterostructures. While recent studies suggested an existence of the interfacial DMI in antiferromagnet (AFM)/HM heterostructures as well, systematic investigation of the interfacial DMI for AFM remains to be addressed both theoretically and experimentally. In this work, we show the evidence of the interfacial DMI in a non-collinear AFM Mn3Sn/HM heterostructure by current-induced hysteresis loop shift measurements.
