Title: Studying Nanoscale Magnetism and its Dynamics with Soft X-ray Microscopy

Journal Article · · Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
OSTI ID:934674

Magnetic soft X-ray microscopy allows for imaging magnetic structures at a spatial resolution down to 15nm and a time resolution in the sub-100ps regime. Inherent elemental specificity can be used to image the magnetic response of individual components such as layers in multilayered systems. This review highlights current achievements and discusses the future potential of magnetic soft X-ray microscopy at fsec X-ray sources where snapshot images of ultrafast spin dynamics with a spatial resolution below 10nm will become feasible.
