Toward volume manufacturing of high-performance soft x-ray critical-angle transmission gratings

Kavli Affiliate: Ralf Heilmann | Summary:High-resolution ($R = λ/Δλ> 2000$) x-ray absorption and emission line spectroscopy in the soft x-ray band is a crucial diagnostic for the exploration of the properties of ubiquitous warm and hot plasmas and their dynamics in the cosmic web, galaxy clusters, galaxy halos, intragalactic space, and star atmospheres. Soft x-ray […]

Transferring Orbital Angular Momentum to an Electron Beam Reveals Toroidal and Chiral Order

Kavli Affiliate: Sol M. Gruner | Summary:Orbital angular momentum and torque transfer play central roles in a wide range of magnetic textures and devices including skyrmions and spin-torque electronics(1-4). Analogous topological structures are now also being explored in ferroelectrics, including polarization vortex arrays in ferroelectric/dielectric superlattices(5). Unlike magnetic toroidal order, electric toroidal order does not […]
