Abstract

The possibility of resolving magnetic-textures in real space at atomic scale may trigger novel fundamental and applicative perspectives. We report on energy-resolved surface imaging with a new technique called Near Field-Emission SEM, which confirms the feasibility of electron spectroscopy and magnetic-domain mapping with nanometer spatial resolution.
