摘要
Recent advances in imaging magnetic microstructures on a nanometer length-scale and their temporal evolution on a sub-nanosecond time-scale have been achieved with magnetic transmission X-ray microscopy. With a lateral resolution down to 20 nm, element-specificity, recording in external magnetic fields and stroboscopic pump-and-probe imaging, insights into fundamental mechanisms of the magnetism in thin films and nanopatterned elements are provided which are also relevant in magnetic storage and sensor technologies.
