We show that while such an interaction might result in small distortions of the magnetic texture in the short range, in the long range it favors in-plane Ned spin spirals along equivalent directions of the crystal structure. Whereas our results show that the observed Ned skyrmions cannot be explained by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction at the monolayer level, they suggest that a canted magnetic texture shall arise at the boundary of Fe3GeTe2 nanoflakes or nanoribbons and, most interestingly, that homochiral planar magnetic textures could be stabilized.
