We study the angular momentum of phonons in a magnetic crystal. In the presence of a spin-
phonon interaction, we obtain a nonzero angular momentum of phonons, which is an odd …

In order to obtain a fundamental understanding of the interplay between charge, spin, orbital
and lattice degrees of freedom in magnetic materials and to predict and control their physical …

Magnetic measurement by transmitted electrons at nanometer or even atomic scale is
always an attractive and challenging issue in the transmission electron microscope. Electron …

We discuss the feasibility of detecting magnetic transitions with focused electron vortex
probes, suggested by selection rules for the magnetic quantum number. We theoretically …

Rapid development of magnetic nanotechnologies calls for experimental techniques
capable of providing magnetic information with subnanometre spatial resolution. Available …

Understanding the magnetic structure of materials on a nanometre scale provides
fundamental information in the development of novel applications. Here we show a site …

The electron energy-loss spectroscopy technique known as electron magnetic circular
dichroism (EMCD) has enormous potential for quantitatively probing the magnetic behavior …

Electron magnetic circular dichroism (EMCD) allows the quantitative, element-selective
determination of spin and orbital magnetic moments, similar to its well-established X-ray …

This paper reviews quantitative characterization via transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
and its application to interfacial phenomena based on the results obtained through the …

Electron energy-loss magnetic chiral dichroism (EMCD) allows for the quantification of
magnetic properties of materials at the nanometer scale. It is shown that with the support of …
