Towards scanning nanostructure x-ray microscopy

Anton Kovyakh, Soham Banerjee, Chia-Hao Liu +5

We demonstrate spatial mapping of the local and nano-scale structure of thin film objects using spatially resolved PDF analysis of synchrotron x-ray diffraction data. This is demon…

Direct observation of 3D topological spin textures and their interactions using soft x-ray vector ptychography

Arjun Rana, Chen-Ting Liao, Ezio Iacocca +21

Magnetic topological defects are energetically stable spin configurations characterized by symmetry breaking. Vortices and skyrmions are two well-known examples of 2D spin textures…
