Abstract

Nanoscale spin textures, especially magnetic skyrmions, have attracted intense interest as candidate high-density and power-efficient information carriers for spintronic devices. Facilitating a deeper understanding of sub-hundred-nanometre to atomic-scale spin textures requires more advanced magnetic imaging techniques. Here we demonstrate a Lorentz electron ptychography method that can enable high-resolution, high-sensitivity magnetic field imaging for widely available electron microscopes. The resolution of Lorentz electron ptychography is not limited by the usual diffraction limit of lens optics, but instead is determined by the maximum scattering angle at which a statistically meaningful dose can still be recorded-this can be an improvement of up to 2-6 times depending on the allowable dose. Using FeGe as the model system, we realize a more accurate magnetic field measurement of skyrmions with an improved spatial resolution and sensitivity by also correcting the probe-damping effect from the imaging optics via Lorentz electron ptychography. This allows us to directly resolve subtle internal structures of magnetic skyrmions near the skyrmion cores, boundaries and dislocations in an FeGe single crystal. Our study establishes a quantitative, high-resolution magnetic microscopy technique that can reveal nanoscale spin textures, especially magnetization discontinuities and topological defects in nanomagnets. The technique's high-dose efficiency should also make it well suited for the exploration of magnetic textures in electron radiation-sensitive materials such as organic or molecular magnets.

摘要

纳米尺度的自旋纹理,尤其是磁性斯格明子,作为自旋电子器件中潜在的高密度、高能效信息载体,已引起了广泛关注。为了更深入地理解亚百纳米至原子尺度的自旋纹理,需要更先进的磁成像技术。在此,我们展示了一种洛伦兹电子叠层成像方法,该方法可为广泛使用的电子显微镜实现高分辨率、高灵敏度的磁场成像。洛伦兹电子叠层成像的分辨率不受透镜光学通常的衍射极限限制,而是由在仍可记录有统计意义剂量的最大散射角决定,根据允许剂量的不同,这一分辨率可提高2至6倍。以FeGe作为模型系统,我们通过洛伦兹电子叠层成像校正成像光学系统的探针阻尼效应,实现了对斯格明子更精确的磁场测量,提高了空间分辨率和灵敏度。这使我们能够直接分辨FeGe单晶中斯格明子核心、边界和位错附近磁性斯格明子的细微内部结构。我们的研究建立了一种定量、高分辨率的磁显微镜技术,该技术能够揭示纳米尺度的自旋纹理,特别是纳米磁体中的磁化不连续性和拓扑缺陷。该技术的高剂量效率也使其非常适合用于探索对电子辐射敏感的材料(如有机或分子磁体)中的磁纹理。
