Magnetic Materials: Chiral Spin Textures in Amorphous Iron–Germanium Thick Films (Adv. Mater. 8/2021)

In article number 2004830, Robert Streubel and co-workers report the formation of topological magnetization vector fields in disordered materials with local inversion symmetry breaking, harnessing high-resolution Lorentz microscopy, quantitative X-ray microspectros copy, and coherent scattering. The image shows the reconstructed in-plane magnetic induction of closely packed Bloch skyrmions embedded into helical spins.
