Lorentz microscopy is an established technique for the nanoscale mapping of magnetic structures, exceeding the diffraction-limited resolution of magneto-optical microscopy [1]. However, time-resolved implementations of this method have remained elusive, due to the lack of pulsed electron sources of sufficient brightness and coherence.
Here, we present the implementation of Lorentz microscopy within the ultrafast transmission electron microscope (UTEM) recently developed in Göttingen [2]. We employ highly coherent, sub-ps electron pulses to study laser-induced demagnetization dynamics in permalloy nanostructures. Our approach offers fascinating prospects for elucidating ultrafast spin dynamics and light-induced magnetic textures [3] on the nanoscale.
