Detailed look into crystals

Electron microscopes provide a detailed look into crystals, visualizing atomic columns or planes. In a magnet, each of the atoms carry a magnetic moment, symbolized in this illustration with arrows. Newly reported experiment is capable to detect such ordered magnetic moments at near atomic scale

  • Magnetism under the magnifying glass

    Being able to determine magnetic properties of materials with sub-nanometer precision would greatly simplify development of magnetic nano-structures for future spintronic devices. In a new study Uppsala physicists make a big step towards this goal - they propose and demonstrate a new measurement method capable to detect magnetism from areas as small as 0.5 nm2.
