English abstract:
We report site-specific energy loss magnetic dichroism measurements of the technologically interesting Heusler alloy Ni2MnSn. In addition, we confirm the theoretical prediction that under certain conditions, two different atoms on inequivalent lattice sites give dichroic signals with opposite signs. With this, it is possible to distinguish the magnetic moments of atomic columns that are merely 1.5 Å apart using a conventional transmission electron microscope without the need for aberration corrections.
