  We have characterized the strength of the interfacial Dyzaloshinskii-Moriya
interaction (DMI) in ultrathin perpendicularly magnetized CoFeB/MgO films,
grown on different underlayers of W, TaN, and Hf, using two experimental
methods. First, we determined the effective DMI field from measurements of
field-driven domain wall motion in the creep regime, where applied in-plane
magnetic fields induce an anisotropy in the wall propagation that is correlated
with the DMI strength. Second, Brillouin light spectroscopy was employed to
quantify the frequency non-reciprocity of spin waves in the CoFeB layers, which
yielded an independent measurement of the DMI. By combining these results, we
show that DMI estimates from the different techniques only yield qualitative
agreement, which suggests that open questions remain on the underlying models
used to interpret these results.
