We demonstrate that light-induced heat pulses of different duration and energy can write skyrmions in a broad range of temperatures and magnetic field in FeGe. Using a combination of camera-rate and pump-probe cryo-Lorentz Transmission Electron Microscopy, we directly resolve the spatio-temporal evolution of the magnetization ensuing optical excitation. The skyrmion lattice was found to maintain its structural properties during the laser-induced demagnetization, and its recovery to the initial state happened in the sub-{mu}s to {mu}s range, depending on the cooling rate of the system.

Imaging of flux vortices in high quality MgB$_2$ single crystals has been successfully performed in a commercial Field Emission Gun-based Transmission Electron Microscope. In Cryo-Lorentz Microscopy, the sample quality and the vortex lattice can be m
onitored simultaneously, allowing one to relate microscopically the surface quality and the vortex dynamics. Such a vortex motion ultimately determines the flow resistivity, $rho_{f}$, the knowledge of which is indispensable for practical applications such as superconducting magnets or wires for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The observed patterns have been analyzed and compared with other studies by Cryo-Lorentz Microscopy or Bitter decoration. We find that the vortex lattice arrangement depends strongly on the surface quality obtained during the specimen preparation, and tends to form an hexagonal Abrikosov lattice at a relatively low magnetic field. Stripes or gossamer-like patterns, recently suggested as potential signatures of an unconventional behavior of MgB$_2$, were not observed.
In the quest for dynamic multimodal probing of a materials structure and functionality, it is critical to be able to quantify the chemical state on the atomic and nanoscale using element specific electronic and structurally sensitive tools such as el
ectron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). Ultrafast EELF, with combined energy, time, and spatial resolution in a transmission electron microscope, has recently enabled transformative studies of photo excited nanostructure evolution and mapping of evanescent electromagnetic fields. This article aims to describe the state of the art experimental techniques in this emerging field and its major uses and future applications.
We present the development of the first ultrafast transmission electron microscope (UTEM) driven by localized photoemission from a field emitter cathode. We describe the implementation of the instrument, the photoemitter concept and the quantitative
electron beam parameters achieved. Establishing a new source for ultrafast TEM, the Gottingen UTEM employs nano-localized linear photoemission from a Schottky emitter, which enables operation with freely tunable temporal structure, from continuous wave to femtosecond pulsed mode. Using this emission mechanism, we achieve record pulse properties in ultrafast electron microscopy of 9 {AA} focused beam diameter, 200 fs pulse duration and 0.6 eV energy width. We illustrate the possibility to conduct ultrafast imaging, diffraction, holography and spectroscopy with this instrument and also discuss opportunities to harness quantum coherent interactions between intense laser fields and free electron beams.
The electronic, optical, and magnetic properties of quantum solids are determined by their low-energy (< 100 meV) many-body excitations. Dynamical characterization and manipulation of such excitations relies on tools that combine nm-spatial, fs-tempo
ral, and meV-spectral resolution. Currently, phonons and collective plasmon resonances can be imaged in nanostructures with sub-nm and 10s meV space/energy resolution using state-of-the-art energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy (TEM), but only under static conditions, while fs-resolved measurements are common but lack spatial or energy resolution. Here, we demonstrate a new method of spectrally resolved photon-induced near-field electron microscopy (SRPINEM) that allows us to obtain nm-fs-resolved maps of nanoparticle plasmons with an energy resolution determined by the laser linewidth (20 meV in this work), and not limited by electron beam and spectrometer energy spreading. This technique can be extended to any optically-accessible low-energy mode, thus pushing TEM to a previously inaccessible spectral domain with an unprecedented combination of space, energy and temporal resolution.
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is an emerging experimental method to characterize the structure of large biomolecular assemblies. Single particle cryo-EM records 2D images (so-called micrographs) of projections of the three-dimensional particle,
which need to be processed to obtain the three-dimensional reconstruction. A crucial step in the reconstruction process is particle picking which involves detection of particles in noisy 2D micrographs with low signal-to-noise ratios of typically 1:10 or even lower. Typically, each picture contains a large number of particles, and particles have unknown irregular and nonconvex shapes.
