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.

ABSTRACTWe have studied the reactions at metal-metalloid interfaces using high resolution transmission electron microscopy, including in situ observation, and differential scanning calorimetry. There is contrasting behavior depending on the affinity for interaction or segregation. For reactive systems, compound formation ultimately results, but this can be preceded by solidstate amorphization. For non-reactive systems, crystallization of the metalloid is often achieved with nucleation and growth mediated by the metal phase.
