abstract = {Multilayers that comprise thin films of heavy metals and
ferromagnets have been shown to host Néel-type magnetic
skyrmions at room temperature. Fresnel defocus imaging in
Lorentz transmission electron microscopy is a widely used
technique for recording magnetic information about
skyrmions. However, the visibility of Néel-type skyrmions
in Fresnel defocus images is typically low, both because
only a small component of their magnetic field contributes
to the signal and because of the presence of diffraction
contrast from the polycrystalline multilayer structure.
Here, we take advantage of the out-of-plane hysteresis in
such samples to record background-subtracted Fresnel defocus
images. We demonstrate an improvement in magnetic
signal-to-noise ratio and spatial resolution by a factor of
3 for a (Pt/Co/NiFe)×5 multilayer. We also use simulated
Fresnel defocus images of Néel-type magnetic skyrmions to
understand the influence of defocus on apparent skyrmion
size.},
