Topological spin-texture transitions in van der Waals magnets revealed by X-ray Fourier transform holography

Sourav Chowdhury, Soumyaranjan Dash, Michael Schneider +14

Nontrivial topological spin-textures, such as skyrmions, merons, bimerons, and skyrmioniums, are envisioned as robust building blocks for future memory and logic devices. Controlla…

A fluctuation-free pathway for a topological magnetic phase transition

Riccardo Battistelli, Lukas Körber, Kai Litzius +27

Topological magnetic textures are particle-like spin configurations stabilized by competing interactions. Their formation is commonly attributed to fluctuation-driven, first-order…

Coherent x-ray magnetic imaging with 5 nm resolution

Riccardo Battistelli, Daniel Metternich, Michael Schneider +13

Soft x-ray microscopy plays an important role in modern spintronics. However, the achievable resolution of most x-ray magnetic imaging experiments is above 10 nm, limiting access t…

Robust scenario for the generation of non-equilibrium topological fluctuation states

Kathinka Gerlinger, Rein Liefferink, Michael Schneider +12

The recently discovered topological fluctuation state provides a fascinating new perspective on the ultrafast emergence of topology in condensed matter systems. However, rather lit…

Tailoring Optical Excitation to Control Magnetic Skyrmion Nucleation

Lisa-Marie Kern, Bastian Pfau, Michael Schneider +12

In ferromagnetic multilayers, a single laser pulse with a fluence above an optical nucleation threshold can create magnetic skyrmions, which are randomly distributed over the area…
