MA 2: Focus Session: Nanomagnetism in the x-ray spotlight

Monday, March 12, 2018, 09:30–12:45, H 1012

X-ray microscopy allows the application of spectroscopic techniques on length scales far smaller than possible with optical microcopy. X-ray absorption contrast allows element and chemically sensitive imaging, while x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) allows direct, highly sensitive detection of the sample magnetization. In x-ray microscopy, these contrast mechanisms can be employed at spatial resolutions below 15 nm, and even better using emergent coherent diffractive imaging techniques. Combining this with pump-and-probe imaging with time resolutions of <50 ps makes x-ray microscopy a universal and powerful tool. In this focus session, the fundamentals of x-ray microscopy, current developments of established and novel techniques and their applications to solve open questions in nanomagnetism are discussed.
