AbstractThis paper presents investigations of magnetization configuration evolution during in-situ magnetic processes in materials exhibiting planar and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Transmission electron microscopy has been used to perform magnetic imaging. Fresnel contrasts in Lorentz Transmission Electron Microscopy (LTEM) and phase retrieval methods such as Transport of Intensity Equation (TIE) solving or electron holography have been implemented. These techniques are sensitive to magnetic induction perpendicular to the electron beam and can give access to a spatially resolved (resolution better than 10 nm) mapping of magnetic induction distribution and could be extended to dynamical studies during in-situ observation. Thin foils of FePd alloys with a strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and self-assembled Fe dots are presented. Both are studied during magnetization processes exhibiting the capacities of in-situ magnetic imaging in a TEM.

AbstractMagnetic anti-skyrmions are one of several chiral spin textures that are of great current interest both for their topological characteristics and potential spintronic applications. Anti-skyrmions were recently observed in the inverse tetragonal Heusler material Mn1.4Pt0.9Pd0.1Sn. Here we show, using Lorentz transmission electron microscopy, that anti-skyrmions are found over a wide range of temperature and magnetic fields in wedged lamellae formed from single crystals of Mn1.4Pt0.9Pd0.1Sn for thicknesses ranging up to ~250 nm. The temperature-field stability window of the anti-skyrmions varies little with thickness. Using micromagnetic simulations we show that this intrinsic stability of anti-skyrmions can be accounted for by the symmetry of the crystal lattice which is imposed on that of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya exchange interaction. These distinctive behaviors of anti-skyrmions makes them particularly attractive for spintronic applications.

SrRuO3 is a low temperature ferromagnet (Tc ≌ 150K) which has recently been investigated in thin film form due to its structural compatibility with other thin film perovskites materials of practical interest, including high-temperature superconductors. Magnetization studies of thin films of SrRuO3 deposited on cubic SrTiO3 indicate strong uniaxial anisotropy with the easy direction approximately along either the a or b axis, which are difficult to distinguish. The orthorhombic structure of SrRuO3 (a = 5.53, b = 5.57, c = 7.84 Å) has six symmetry-related orientations on the cubic substrate (a = 3.9Å). Using Lorentz transmission electron microscopy both the magnetic and the crystallographic domain microstructure are characterized.For TEM imaging the films are readily removed from the substrate by chemical etching, using a HF:HNO3:H2O etch of approximately 1:1:1 dilution. Free-floating SrRuO3 films of 300-1000Å in thickness are then supported on standard carbon/formvar films on Cu substrates.
