The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), which only exists in noncentrosymmetric systems, plays an important role in the formation of exotic chiral magnetic states. However, the absence of the DMI occurs in most two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials due to their intrinsic inversion symmetry. Here, by using first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that a significant DMI can be obtained in a series of Janus monolayers of dichalcogenides XSeTe (X = Nb, Re) in which the difference between Se and Te on the opposite sides of X breaks the inversion symmetry.
