The nucleation of reversed magnetic domains in Pt/Co/AlO$_{x}$microstructures with perpendicular anisotropy was studied experimentally in thepresence of an in-plane magnetic field. For large enough in-plane field,nucleation was observed preferentially at an edge of the sample normal to thisfield. The position at which nucleation takes place was observed to depend in achiral way on the initial magnetization and applied field directions. Anexplanation of these results is proposed, based on the existence of a sizableDzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in this sample. Another consequence of thisinteraction is that the energy of domain walls can become negative for in-planefields smaller than the effective anisotropy field.
