Scientists at the Max Born Institute have developed a new soft X-ray instrument that can reveal dynamics of magnetic domains on nanometer length and picosecond time scales. By bringing capabilities ...

One of the common modes of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is Magnetic force microscopy (MFM). As indicated by the name, SPM is used to map magnetic properties. On the nanoscale, MFM probes local ...

UPTON, NY—Everyone knows that holding two magnets together will lead to one of two results: they stick together, or they push each other apart. From this perspective, magnetism seems simple, but ...

Non-collinear antiferromagnetic materials, which have a net magnetic moment nearly zero, yet exhibit significant anomalous transverse transport properties, are considered as candidate materials for ...

In MFM, a magnetic-coated AFM probe interacts with magnetic field gradients from the sample, causing detectable forces on the probe's cantilever. To focus on magnetic interactions, MFM is often ...

Nanoscale maze-like magnetic patterns form reliably across strained substrates, removing a key bottleneck for faster, more ...
