How to harness local inversion symmetry breaking for 3D nano magnetism?
We investigate the potential of structural and chemical short-range order, curvature, and strain to tailor magnetic and magneto-transport properties of nanostructures, amorphous materials, and molecular magnets. This involves pushing boundaries of advanced synthesis, nanofabrication, characterization, and data analysis.

Transmission electron microscopy is uniquely positioned to probe quantized spin excitations and topological phases in crystalline, amorphous/heterogeneous and heterostructured quantum materials by directly visualizing the magnetization vector field with phase contrast imaging and vector field tomography. Superior spatial resolution and sensitivity will enable to decipher the influence of structural, chemical and electronic heterogeneity on spin-orbit coupling and emergent topological objects.
