Observation of Magnetic Domain Structure in Fe81B15Si4 Amorphous Alloy by Lorentz Microscopy and Electron Holography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Effects of heat treatment, with and without an external magnetic field, on the magnetic properties of Fe81B15Si4 amorphous specimens are investigated by Lorentz microscopy and electron holography. These observations are used to clarify the details of magnetizing processes in the specimens. It is found that heat-treatment with an external magnetic field increases the magnetic anisotropy, while that without reduces the magnetic anisotropy. It is considered that this difference results from the alleviation of the strain field by heat treatment and the induced magnetic anisotropy caused by heat treatment with a magnetic field.

Domain imaging of soft magnetic materials by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is difficult due to the potentially saturating field of the microscope’s objective lens. Energy filtered Lorentz microscopy provides a low field, high resolution domain imaging solution for soft magnetic materials. This technique was successfully applied to a soft magnetic nanocrystalline alloy to examine the do...

متن کاملMagnetic domain observations in a FeCo-based nanocrystalline alloy by Lorentz microscopy
Lorentz microscopy was used to investigate the domain structure in an Fe0.5Co0.5 80Nb4B13Ge2Cu1 alloy annealed at 500, 550, and 610 °C, respectively, for 1 h. The average grain size d, observed by conventional transmission electron microscopy, is 10 nm for the alloy annealed at 500 °C, 18 nm for 550 °C, and 90 nm for 610 °C. The domain structure of sample annealed at 500 °C exhibits few pinning...
متن کاملStudy of Magnetic Domain Structure in Co(Fe)/Pd Multilayers using Off-axis Electron Holography
Magnetic nanostructures that are magnetized perpendicular to their surface are central to many developing technologies, including spintronics devices and patterned media, because of the requirement to maintain thermal stability as device dimensions are scaled further into the nanoscale. Multilayer or superlattice materials such as Co(Fe)/Pd are convenient for these applications due to their hig...
