MA 20: Focus Session: Revealing Multidimensional Spin Textures and their Dynamics via X-rays and Electrons

Wednesday, September 7, 2022, 09:30–13:00, H37

Non-collinear spin textures in magnetic materials and excitations within such spin arrangements moved into the focus of research. These system host topological spin states and unique excitations providing access to versatile future spintronic applications. The imaging of such complex internal magnetic orders of materials is a fundamental problem of extreme importance for the successful implementation of these applications. Characterizing the electronic, magnetic and transport properties of structures such as vortices, magnetic singularities or hopfions lead to the development of novel experimental and theoretical techniques. For instance, magnetic hopfions have been unveiled via a combination of X-ray photoemission electron microscopy and soft X-ray transmission microscopy using element-specific X-ray magnetic circular dichroism effects. Recently, time-resolved magnetic laminography enabled access to the temporal evolution of three-dimensional (3D) magnetic microdiscs with nanoscale resolution, while quantitative reconstruction of the 3D spintexture of skyrmions with sub-10 nm resolution was demonstrated by holographic vector field electron tomography or soft x-ray vector ptychography. Pivotal to these experimental developments are theoretical proposals for the detection and manipulation protocols. Although making a strong impact in the field of magnetism, this area of research calls for an in-depth exchange between experts of different techniques, experimental and theoretical, to unravel many of the open questions and puzzling behavior discovered within the last couple of years. This motivates the present focus session as an opportunity for discussions and to attract more researchers to this fascinating field.
