abstract = {Topological noncollinear magnetic phases of matter are at
the heart of many proposals for future information
nanotechnology, with novel device concepts based on
ultrathin films and nanowires. Their operation requires
understanding and control of the underlying dynamics,
including excitations such as spin waves. So far, no
experimental technique has attempted to probe large
wave-vector spin waves in noncollinear low-dimensional
systems. In this paper, we explain how inelastic electron
scattering, being suitable for investigations of surfaces
and thin films, can detect the collective spin-excitation
spectra of noncollinear magnets. To reveal the
particularities of spin waves in such noncollinear samples,
we propose the usage of spin-polarized electron-energy-loss
spectroscopy augmented with a spin analyzer. With the spin
analyzer detecting the polarization of the scattered
electrons, four spin-dependent scattering channels are
defined, which allow us to filter and select specific
spin-wave modes. We take as examples a topological
nontrivial skyrmion lattice, a spin-spiral phase, and the
conventional ferromagnet. Then we demonstrate that,
counterintuitively and in contrast to the ferromagnetic
case, even non-spin-flip processes can generate spin waves
in noncollinear substrates. The measured dispersion and
lifetime of the excitation modes permit us to fingerprint
the magnetic nature of the substrate.},
