Nanoscale Probing of Magneto-electric Phases

Abstract

Two-dimensional vortex structures in Bose-Einstein condensates and ferroicmaterials have been extensively researched by high resolution-transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), atomic force microscopy, as well as numerous optical methods. Combining HR-TEM withsynchrotron radiation-based reciprocal space mapping recently permitted to observe long-range 2D vortex distributions in perovskite superlattices . However, these approaches have not been transferred to direct noninvasive whole-volume studies of vortex dynamics due to fundamental limitations of the methods, forcing restrictions on studies in the presence of external perturbations, such as applied electric or magnetic fields, and leaving a gap in our understanding of dynamical processes.
