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.

AbstractMagnetic anti-skyrmions are one of several chiral spin textures that are of great current interest both for their topological characteristics and potential spintronic applications. Anti-skyrmions were recently observed in the inverse tetragonal Heusler material Mn1.4Pt0.9Pd0.1Sn. Here we show, using Lorentz transmission electron microscopy, that anti-skyrmions are found over a wide range of temperature and magnetic fields in wedged lamellae formed from single crystals of Mn1.4Pt0.9Pd0.1Sn for thicknesses ranging up to ~250 nm. The temperature-field stability window of the anti-skyrmions varies little with thickness. Using micromagnetic simulations we show that this intrinsic stability of anti-skyrmions can be accounted for by the symmetry of the crystal lattice which is imposed on that of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya exchange interaction. These distinctive behaviors of anti-skyrmions makes them particularly attractive for spintronic applications.
