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…
Linear dichroic soft X-ray microscopy of ferroelectric stripe domains in epitaxial KNaNbO
M. Schneider, T. A. Butcher, S. Wagner +20
Functional properties of ferroelectric thin films are governed by domains that can be engineered by epitaxial strain. Soft x-ray microscopy can image domain structures with element…
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…
Picosecond localization dynamics following ultrafast nanoscale magnetic switching
Daniel Metternich, Michael Schneider, Giuseppe Mercurio +28
Ultrashort laser pulses provide the fastest known way to switch magnetic order. Such excitation commonly creates nanometer-scale domains, even after homogeneous illumination when t…
Soft-X-ray momentum microscopy of nonlinear magnon interactions below 100-nm wavelength
Steffen Wittrock, Christopher Klose, Salvatore Perna +10
Magnons are quantised collective excitations of long-range ordered spins. At nanometre wavelengths, exchange interactions increasingly govern their dynamics, giving rise to a large…
Emergent Chaos-Like Dynamics of Spin-Orbit Torque-Driven Magnetic Transitions
Lisa-Marie Kern, Kai Litzius, Victor Deinhart +12
Spin-orbit torques (SOTs) are widely used to control magnetization in nanoscale electric systems and are typically assumed to drive skyrmion nucleation and motion in a deterministi…
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…
Deterministic Generation and Guided Motion of Magnetic Skyrmions by Focused He-Ion Irradiation
L. -M. Kern, B. Pfau, V. Deinhart +17
Magnetic skyrmions are quasiparticles with non-trivial topology, envisioned to play a key role in next-generation data technology while simultaneously attracting fundamental resear…
Photon correlation spectroscopy with heterodyne mixing based on soft-x-ray magnetic circular dichroism
Christopher Klose, Felix Büttner, Wen Hu +4
Many magnetic equilibrium states and phase transitions are characterized by fluctuations. Such magnetic fluctuation can in principle be detected with scattering-based x-ray photon…
