Proposal for a three-dimensional magnetic measurement method with nanometer-scale depth resolution
arXiv:1810.00187 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.98.174409
Abstract
We propose a magnetic measurement method based on combining depth sectioning and electron magnetic circular dichroism in scanning transmission electron microscopy. Electron vortex beams with large convergence angles, as those achievable in current state-of-the-art aberration correctors, could produce atomic lateral resolution and depth resolution below 2~nm.
