Description

The nanometer-scale vortex-like spin textures, such as vortex-anrivortex pairs in ferromagnetic (FM) domain walls [1], votices in superconductors [2], skyrmion (lattice) [3] and antiskyrmions [4] in magnets with inversion symmetry, have recently attracted enormous attention owing to their topological manner[5]. To confirm such minute complex spin textures and their dynamics with external stimuli, the real space observation have been performed by Lorentz transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
