It is well established that doped 2D antiferromagnets such as layered nickelates and certain cuprates can exhibit an ordered phase in which charge carriers are segregated to periodically-spaced domain walls separating antiferromagnetic domains. An open question concerns the nature of the state that is achieved when a stripe solid melts. Recent neutron scattering experiments on nickelates and cuprates indicate that melting leads to a stripe-liquid state; these results will be presented and discussed. The existence of the stripe-liquid phase in nickelates makes it plausible to interpret the mid-infrared absorption in terms of transitions from valence to mid-gap states associated with the stripes.

ABSTRACTWe report on a combined theoretical and experimental study of the magnetic microstructure of a single component, single phase, Pore-free nanocrystalline ferromagnetic material. From the equations of micro-magnetics we conclude that the magnetic microstructure is the convolution product of an anisotropy field microstructure and of a response function with a correlation length lH that depends on the applied field Ha. We derive equations for small angle neutron scattering by such structures, and present experimental scattering data for electrodeposited nanocrystalline Ni, the first where for a wide range of Ha the dominant scattering contribution is from the purely magnetic microstructure, not from nuclear or magnetic contrast at pores or second phases. The variation of the scattering cross section with Ha is in excellent agreement with the theory, indicating that the underlying changes in the magnetic microstructure with Ha are not displacements of domain walls, but changes in lH and hence in the magnetic response to an entirely stationary anisotropy field microstructure. At 20K the anisotropy fields are dominated by magnetocrystalline anisotropy, but at 300K the perturbation is from a much stronger interaction which maintains some moments aligned antiparallel to the field direction at Ha as high as 1.4MA/m (18kOe).

By far the most commonly used mode of Lorentz microscopy in the examination of ferromagnetic thin films is the Fresnel or defocus mode. Use of this mode in the conventional transmission electron microscope (CTEM) is straightforward and immediately reveals the existence of all domain walls present. However, if such quantitative information as the domain wall profile is required, the technique suffers from several disadvantages. These include the inability to directly observe fine image detail on the viewing screen because of the stringent illumination coherence requirements, the difficulty of accurately translating part of a photographic plate into quantitative electron intensity data, and, perhaps most severe, the difficulty of interpreting this data. One solution to the first-named problem is to use a CTEM equipped with a field emission gun (FEG) (Inoue, Harada and Yamamoto 1977) whilst a second is to use the equivalent mode of image formation in a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) (Chapman, Batson, Waddell, Ferrier and Craven 1977), a technique which largely overcomes the second-named problem as well.

Fe-Cr-Co alloys have great technological potential to replace Alnico alloys as hard magnets. The relationship between the microstructures and the magnetic properties has been recently established for some of these alloys. The magnetic hardening has been attributed to the decomposition of the high temperature stable phase (α) into an elongated Fe-rich ferromagnetic phase (α1) and a weakly magnetic or non-magnetic Cr-rich phase (α2). The relationships between magnetic domains and domain walls and these different phases are yet to be understood. The TEM has been used to ascertain the mechanism of magnetic hardening for the first time in these alloys. The present paper describes the magnetic domain structure and the magnetization reversal processes in some of these multiphase materials. Microstructures to change properties resulting from, (i) isothermal aging, (ii) thermomagnetic treatment (TMT) and (iii) TMT + stepaging have been chosen for this investigation. The Jem-7A and Philips EM-301 transmission electron microscopes operating at 100 kV have been used for the Lorentz microscopy study of the magnetic domains and their interactions with the finely dispersed precipitate phases.
