The high voltage Lorentz microscopy was successfully used to observe changes with temperature; of domain structures and metallurgical structures in an iron film set on the hot stage combined with a goniometer. The microscope used was the JEM-1000 EM which was operated with the objective lens current cut off to eliminate the magnetic field in the specimen position. Single crystal films with an (001) plane were prepared by the epitaxial growth of evaporated iron on a cleaved (001) plane of a rocksalt substrate. They had a uniform thickness from 1000 to 7000 Å.The figure shows the temperature dependence of magnetic domain structure with its corresponding deflection pattern and metallurgical structure observed in a 4500 Å iron film. In general, with increase of temperature, the straight domain walls decrease in their width (at 400°C), curve in an iregular shape (600°C) and then vanish (790°C). The ripple structures with cross-tie walls are observed below the Curie temperature.

Superparamagnetic State

Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy was used to determine the magnetic state transitions of nanocrystalline La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 at room temperature, as a function of crystallite size. Ferromagnetic nanoparticles having an average crystallite size ranging from 9 to 57 nm are prepared by adopting the autocombustion method with two-step synthesis process. Significant changes of the ESR spectra parameters, such as the line shape, resonance field (Hr), g-factor, linewidth (∆Hpp), and the low-field microwave absorption (LFMA) signal, are indicative of the change in magnetic domain structures from superparamagnetism to single-domain and multi-domain ferromagnetism by increase in the crystallite size. Samples with crystallite sizes less than 24.5 nm are in a superparamagnetic state. Between 24.5 and 32 nm, they are formed by a single-domain ferromagnetic. The multi-domain state arises for higher sizes. In superparamagnetic region, the value of g-factor is practically constant suggesting that the magnetic core size is invariant with decreasing crystallite size. This contradictory observation with the core-shell model was explained by the phenomenon of phase separation that leads to the formation of a new magnetic state that we called multicore superparamagnetic state.

Direct Interpretation

Transmission electron microscopy, TEM, that can serve for observation of both atomic and magnetic structures is useful to investigate structure sensitive magnetic properties. It is most effective when it is applied to thin films for which direct interpretation of the results is possible without considering additional effects through specimen handling for TEM use and modification of dimension dependent magnetic properties.Transmission Lorentz microscopy, TLM, to observe magnetic domains has been known for a quarter century. Among TLM modes the defocused mode has been most popular due to its simple way of operation. Recent development of TEM made it possible that an average instrument commercially available could be easily operated at any TLM modes to produce high quality images. This paper mainly utilizes the Foucault mode to investigate domain walls and magnetization ripples as the finest details of domain structure.

ABSTRACTA family of rare-earth metal manganites are antiferromagnetic (AFM) ferroelectrics and some of these may show also weak ferromagnetism. First we will show how to observe the ferroelectric (FEL) and AFM domain structures by the interference effects of second harmonic generation (SHG). Second, the observed clamping of the AFM domain wall (DW) to the FEL domain boundary (DB) is intuitively explained by the group theoretical consideration of the magnetic anisotropy energy depending upon the sign of the FEL polarization. Third, the application of these clamped DW-DB to the memory engineering will be briefly discussed.

Reversal Mechanism

The magnetization reversal mechanism of the magnetic films system with the different magnetic anisotropy, exchange coupling, interface coupling, etc. has been simulated by Monte-Carlo method. The results show that the decrease of magnetic anisotropy is in favor of motion of domain walls, but is not conducive to consistent rotation. The interface coupling of both the ferromagnetic film and the antiferromagnetic film are helpful to the motion of domain walls while the antiferromagnetic film coupling is the more effective. Meantime, the evolution of the microscopic magnetic domain structures has been inspected intuitively while the system is in the process of magnetization.

High damping Fe - Cr and Fe - Al alloys have been studied in two different states: in the high damping state and in the suppressed damping capacity state. It has been shown that magnetic domain structures of Fe - Cr and Fe - Al alloys are fundamentally different in the high damping state and in the state with the suppressed damping. Magnetic domain structure corresponding to the high damping state can be characterized by an enhanced volume fraction of the easy movable 90o-domain walls, but the state with the suppressed damping capacity can be characterized by the enhanced volume fraction of the 180o-domain boundaries.

Coherent Spin

The successful implementation of spin-wave devices requires efficient modulation of spin-wave propagation. Using cobalt/nickel multilayer films, we experimentally demonstrate that nanometer-wide magnetic domain walls can be applied to manipulate the phase and magnitude of coherent spin waves in a nonvolatile manner. We further show that a spin wave can, in turn, be used to change the position of magnetic domain walls by means of the spin-transfer torque effect generated from magnon spin current. This mutual interaction between spin waves and magnetic domain walls opens up the possibility of realizing all-magnon spintronic devices, in which one spin-wave signal can be used to control others by reconfiguring magnetic domain structures.

Magnetic colloid observations on synthetic hematite indicate the existence of only two phase domain structures. The normal or N structure is a usually slablike 180° wall structure where the majority of walls are parallel to the basal plane and have a 100–200 μm separation. Wall energies are estimated to be 0.35 × 10−1 to 1.0 × 10−1 erg/cm2 from domain geometry. Under special circumstances, a domain structure, called CN domains, occurs in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] surfaces and appears to be a two phase structure of non-180° walls. Spontaneous magnetostriction requires these walls of 100–200 μm separation to be planar and lie either perpendicular to or at ~26° to the basal plane. A third structure, called C domains, of 25–50 μm spaced planar walls occurs on (110) surfaces in two characteristic directions symmetric with the basal plane and consistent with CN-wall geometry. However, because of their behavior and geometry, they appear to be nonmagnetically stabilized but possibly by a strain effect. By using magnetoelastic coupling for the effective basal plane anisotropy constant for moment rotation in domain walls, N-wall energies are estimated to be 0.45 × 10−1 to 1.0 × 10−1 erg/cm2. Because of geometry complications CN-wall energies are difficult to calculate but are estimated to be ~10−1 erg/cm2 or slightly larger.
