Abstract
The study of magnetism in reduced dimensions is not only of significant fundamental interest but also offers potential applications for materials with unique functionalities. Here, we will address the direct imaging of spin textures and spin dynamics in two-dimensional (2D) magnets using x-ray imaging. Using Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM), we investigated the formation and stability of skyrmions and higher order topological states in Fe3GeTe2 flakes. Moreover, the propagation of spin waves was directly observed in Fe5GeTe2 flakes using time-resolved (TR)-STXM, revealing spin-wave characteristics of 2D magnets that are distinct from their 3D counterparts.
