Ultrafast high-harmonic nanoscopy of magnetization dynamics

Nature Communications, 2021
Light induced magnetization dynamics can be as fast as few tens of femtoseconds. Here, Zayko et al show ultrafast microscopy based on high-harmonic radiation for direct imaging of ultrafast phenomena and capture femtosecond spin dynamics at the nanoscale.

Microscopic mechanism of biphasic interface relaxation in lithium iron phosphate after delithiation

Nature Communications, 2018
Improving the performance of Li-ion batteries relies on understanding charging/discharging mechanisms. Here the authors visualize the interfacial structure and composition of a partially delithiated lithium iron phosphate single crystal as a function of ...
