Development of precession Lorentz electron microscopy toward visualization of emergent magnetism |
| 要旨(英語) |
Emergent magnetic nanotextures such as skyrmions have attracted considerable interest for spintronic applications. Lorentz transmission electron microscopy (LTEM) is widely used for high-resolution (~nm) imaging of magnetic textures, including in situ observations under external stimuli such as electric currents and strain. Moreover, recently developed ultrafast TEM (UTEM), which is based on the pump–probe scheme, has enabled investigations of nonequilibrium spin-texture dynamics on the nanosecond timescale. However, magnetic contrast is often obscured by diffraction contrast originating from crystal inhomogeneity, which becomes particularly problematic for dynamic observations where magnetic textures evolve nonlocally in time and space.In this study, we introduce the precession method into LTEM to suppress diffraction contrast. By varying the incident beam angle in a precessional manner and averaging images obtained under different diffraction conditions, diffraction contrast is strongly reduced while magnetic contrast remains largely unaffected. This approach is expected to enable continuous tracking of the motion of magnetic textures on the micrometer scale, as well as the elucidation of nonequilibrium dynamics involving large temporal variations, which have been difficult to investigate using conventional methods. |
