Electron vortex beams (EVBs) carry a discrete orbital angular momentum (OAM), L, and are predicted to reveal magnetic dichroic in electron energy loss spectra upon interacting with magnetic samples. Since electron beams can be easily focused down to sub-nanometer diameters, this novel technique provides the possibility to quantitatively determine local magnetic properties with unrivalled lateral resolution. The generation of EVBs in the double aberration-corrected FEI Titan3 80-300 transmission electron microscope (TEM) is achieved by the implementation of spiral and dislocation-type apertures into the condenser lens system. The setup allows for scanning TEM investigations (STEM) with EVBs, whose OAM is selected by means of an additional discriminator aperture. New FIB cutting strategies facilitate the production for 50 µm wide and 1 µm thick high quality vortex apertures. The status quo of both experiments and simulations of the interaction of the EVB with L10-FePt nanomagnets will be presented.
