Fig. 3: Phase vortex structure images of rapidly quenched h-DyMnO3 nanocrystal.
From: Three-dimensional imaging of topologically protected strings in a multiferroic nanocrystal
Slices through the (111) reflection of the reconstructed h-DyMnO3 nanocrystal shown for three orthogonal projections. The x, −y and −z unit vector points out of the image plane in the row labelled a, b and c respectively. Slices are taken at 100 nm intervals directed normal to the image plane. Numerous vortex structures are visible in the phase information and appear with a preferred winding direction. Central image on row b labels two vortex cores separated by 120 nm.
