along with other methods such as synchrotron X-ray scattering, muon spin relaxation/rotation (<em><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif">muSR</span></em>), scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron spin
resonance (ESR), angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), terahertz spectroscopy<em><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif">, Mössbauer</span></em> spectroscopy, bulk magnetic property measurements etc., have been proven to be powerful and complementary
tools in every breakthrough of condensed matter research. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
