An international research team, spearheaded by the Max Born Institute, has made significant strides in the field of spin-wave physics with the development of a novel momentum microscopy technique.
This innovative approach enables scientists to directly image magnons, which are the quanta of collectively excited spins, in two-dimensional reciprocal space.
The findings, published on June 8, 2026, could provide new insights into nanoscale phenomena, potentially advancing our understanding of magnetic materials.
