Atomic-column imaging uncovers hidden magnetic structures in antiferromagnets
Antiferromagnetic materials, with antiparallel atomic spins and zero net magnetization, are fast and resistant to external magnetic interference, making them ideal for high-speed, high-density spintronic devices. However, their zero net magnetization makes conventional imaging difficult, as neutron- or synchrotron-based methods have limited resolution and cannot easily probe microscopic regions or interfaces.
