In these materials, the skyrmion lattice phase appears as a long-range-ordered, close-packed grid of nearly millimetre-level correlation length, while the size of a single skyrmion is 3?100 nm. This is a very challenging range of length scales (spanning 5 orders of magnitude from tens of nm to mm) for magnetic characterisation techniques, and, to date, extensive information on this fascinating, magnetically ordered state has remained elusive. In response, this work develops novel resonant elastic x-ray scattering (REXS) techniques, which allow the magnetic structure, including the long-range order and domain formation, as well as microscopic skyrmion parameters, to be measured across the full range of length scales. Most importantly, using circular dichroism in REXS, the internal structure of a given skyrmion, the topological winding number, and the skyrmion helicity angle can all be unambiguously determined. These new techniques are applicable to many materials systems, and allow us to retrieve information on modulated spin structures, multiferroic order, spin-density-waves, and other forms of topological magnetic order. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aMagnetism 606 $aMagnetic materials 606 $aSpectroscopy 606 $aMicroscopy 606 $aMagnetism, Magnetic Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25129 606 $aSpectroscopy and Microscopy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31090 615 0$aMagnetism. 615 0$aMagnetic materials. 615 0$aSpectroscopy. 615 0$aMicroscopy. 615 14$aMagnetism, Magnetic Materials. 615 24$aSpectroscopy and Microscopy. 676 $a539.7 700 $aZhang$b Shilei$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0833930 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300558103321 996 $aChiral and Topological Nature of Magnetic Skyrmions$91864430 997 $aUNINA
