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…
Pump--probe x-ray microscopy of photo-induced magnetization dynamics at MHz repetition rates
Kathinka Gerlinger, Bastian Pfau, Martin Hennecke +11
We present time-resolved scanning x-ray microscopy measurements with picosecond photo-excitation via a tailored infrared pump laser at a scanning transmission x-ray microscope. Spe…
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…
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…
Megahertz-rate Ultrafast X-ray Scattering and Holographic Imaging at the European XFEL
Nanna Zhou Hagström, Michael Schneider, Nico Kerber +97
The advent of X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) has revolutionized fundamental science, from atomic to condensed matter physics, from chemistry to biology, giving researchers acce…
