Magnetic materials that exhibit chiral domain walls are of great interest for spintronic devices. In this work, we examine the temperature-dependent behavior of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) in Pt/Co/Cu thin film heterostructures. We extract the DMI strength, D, from static domain spacing analysis between 300 K and 500 K and compare its temperature dependence to that of the magnetic anisotropy, K_u, and saturation magnetization, M_s. Consistent with expected scaling in thin films, M_s exhibits Bloch-law temperature scaling and K_u scales as M_s^2.1±0.1.
