The saturation value of the magnetostriction curve in the [100] direction of a Fe-Ga alloy single crystal was decreased from 226 to 55 ppm by applying the tensile strain of 533 ppm to the measured direction. By magnetic domain observation using a magneto-optic Kerr effect microscope, a complex structure composed of various magnetic domains was observed under zero applied strain. On the other hand, a stripe structure composed of magnetic domains with the magnetization direction in two kinds of <100> magnetic easy directions parallel to the tensile direction, which were separated by straight 180° domain walls, was observed under the tensile strain of 533 ppm. The characteristic magnetic domain structure due to the tensile strain was successfully observed as a cause of the significant decrease of the saturation value of the magnetostriction curve.

Abstract Magnetic-domain structure and dynamics play an important role in understanding and controlling the magnetic properties of two-dimensional magnets, which are of interest to both fundamental studies and applications. However, the probe methods based on the spin-dependent optical permeability and electrical conductivity can neither provide quantitative information of the magnetization nor achieve nanoscale spatial resolution. These capabilities are essential to image and understand the rich properties of magnetic domains. Here, we employ cryogenic scanning magnetometry using a single-electron spin of a nitrogen-vacancy center in a diamond probe to unambiguously prove the existence of magnetic domains and study their dynamics in atomically thin CrBr3. The high spatial resolution of this technique enables imaging of magnetic domains and allows to resolve domain walls pinned by defects. By controlling the magnetic domain evolution as a function of magnetic field, we find that the pinning effect is a dominant coercivity mechanism with a saturation magnetization of about 26μB/nm2 for bilayer CrBr3. The magnetic-domain structure and pinning-effect dominated domain reversal process are verified by micromagnetic simulation. Our work highlights scanning nitrogen-vacancy center magnetometry as a quantitative probe to explore two-dimensional magnetism at the nanoscale.

This work reports on the correlation between the magnetic-domain structure and microwave mitigation properties of ferrite–Carbon black/PVA Composites. Distorted co-ordination of Fe3+ along with unique single axis oriented magnetic domains plays a crucial role in magnetic losses and hence, in mitigation of microwaves.

Fe100-xGax giant magnetostrictive films (GMF) are attracting ever increasing attention for their potential application to manufacturing integrated magnetostrictive displacement sensors. However, it is difficult to fabricate Fe100-xGax thin films with different compositions at will. The influence of compositions on alloy phases, grain sizes, film surface roughness, and magnetic domains of the films and magnetization of magnetron sputtered Fe100-xGax films was investigated. Changing the ratio of the pure iron slice areas to alloy target areas, the desired film composition was achieved by the improved Mosaic method. The morphologies, magnetic domain structure, microstructure, and compositions of Fe100-xGax films revealed by SEM, EDS, XRD, MFM, VSM, and TEM. The results show that there are <1 1 0 > texture in magnetron sputtered Fe100-xGax films. The sharp peak attributed to the A2 microstructure suggests that the film is crystalline. The magnetic domain structure of Fe100-xGax films presents a network form, and the domain width decreases with the decrease of gallium content. It is also found that the magnetic domains of the films are not uniform. The TEM result shows that there are some strip patterns in the films, and the diffraction ring is discontinuous because of the structure extinction. For a suitable candidate of microdevice applications in MEMS, the optimum composition film should be Fe83.25Ga16.75 film.
