A detailed correlative structural, magnetic and chemical analysis of non-stoichiometric cobalt ferrite micrometric crystals was performed by x-ray circular dichroism combined with photoemission microscopy, low energy electron atomic force microscopy. The vector magnetization at the nanoscale is obtained from images different incidence angles compared micromagnetic simulations, revealing presenc...

Nanofabrication has allowed the development of new concepts such as magnetic logic and race-track memory, both of which are based on the displacement of magnetic domain walls on magnetic nanostripes. One of the issues that has to be solved before devices can meet the market demands is the stochastic behaviour of the domain wall movement in magnetic nanostripes. Here we show that the stochastic ...
