Schematic of observation method and observed magnetic field distribution of individual lattice planes.

Caption

Thanks to advanced image acquisition and automated aberration correction techniques, researchers managed to measure magnetic fields in Ba2FeMoO6 at a groundbreaking resolution of 0.47 nm for a method that enables observation of uneven samples. Such a high resolution is critical when observing magnetic phenomena that occur at the interface between materials.
