Linear dichroic soft X-ray microscopy of ferroelectric stripe domains in epitaxial KNaNbO
M. Schneider, T. A. Butcher, S. Wagner +19
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…
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…
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…
Signatures of higher order skyrmionic textures revealed by magnetic force microscopy
Sabri Koraltan, Joe Sunny, Tamer Karaman +6
Higher-order skyrmions and antiskyrmions are topologically protected spin textures with an integer topological charge other than and nucleate from topological point defects…
