ABSTRACTWe have developed a novel, high-resolution magnetic imaging technique, scanning-ion microscopy with polarization analysis (SIMPA). In SIMPA, a highly-focused, scanning Ga+ ion beam is used to excite spin-polarized electrons at surfaces of ferromagnetic Materials. By Measuring the intensity and the spin polarization of the emitted electrons using a newly developed, compact mott polarimeter, topographic and magnetic images of magnetic structures are obtained. We report on first SIMPA studies on single-crystalline Fe samples.

AbstractSimulated annealing calculations were performed for Ising spins on Ho sites under Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida-like alternating exchange interactions for an icosahedral Zn-Mg-Ho structure model with intent to investigate the magnetic structures at low temperatures. Magnetic structures were analyzed by means of a Patterson function and diffraction patterns arising from spin-dependent scattering amplitudes. The diffraction patterns from the magnetic structure consist of spots at low temperatures in the case of an antiferromagnetic interaction for the shortest distance (3.37 Å) and a ferromagnetic interaction for the second shortest distance (5.46 Å). The Patterson maps indicate a long-range antiferromagnetic correlation. These facts mean that a long-range ordered magnetic structure is realized at low temperatures. The contrast of the diffraction patterns is different from the patterns arising from the spin-independent scattering amplitudes from the Ho sites. A reversed sign interaction, ferromagnetic for the shortest distance and antiferromagnetic for the second shortest distance, results in broad intensity minima in the magnetic diffraction at the positions of strong spots in the spin-independent diffraction by lattice sites. It corresponds to the degradation of the long-range correlation.
