Scattering of electron vortex beams on a magnetic crystal: Towards atomic-resolution magnetic measurements
Scattering of electron vortex beams on a magnetic crystal: Towards atomic-resolution magnetic measurements
Use of electron vortex beams (EVB), that is, convergent electron beams carrying an orbital angular momentum (OAM), is a novel development in the field of transmission electron microscopy. They should allow measurement of element-specific magnetic properties of thin crystals using electron magnetic circular dichroism (EMCD)---a phenomenon similar to the x-ray …
