Description

Towards atomic scale magnetic field mapping and measurement. This project aims to map and measure magnetic fields at the fundamental atomic scale by building on new structure determination algorithms in electron microscopy and a new lens design enabling high resolution imaging of magnetic materials. This project expects to generate new knowledge about the structure of magnetic materials that will underpin next-generation technologies such as data storage and magnetic sensors. Expected outcomes of this project include new methods for characterising magnetic structures at smaller length scales than hitherto possible. This should benefit academic and industrial researchers for whom characterising magnetic structure is essential to improve capacity and energy efficiency of digital storage technologies..
