Magnetic and chemical images revealed simultaneously with multimodal ptychography

When polarized light is directed at a material, it interacts with the material depending on chemical and magnetic properties of the latter. The scattered light creates a diffraction pattern that contains information about both. Traditionally, separating magnetic and chemical signals requires two independent measurements with different polarizations, or using a polarization analyzer, complicating...
