SmCo5 magnets are usually produced by powder metallurgy route, including milling, compaction and orientation under magnetic field, sintering and heat treatment. The samples produced by powder metallurgy, with grain size around 10 μm, are ideal for determination of intrinsic parameters. The first step for determination of intrinsic magnetic parameters is obtaining images of domain structure in demagnetized samples. In the present study, the domain images were produced by means of Kerr effect, in a optical microscope. After the test of several etchings, Nital appears as the most appropriate for observation of magnetic domains by Kerr effect. Applying Stereology and Domain Theory, several intrinsic parameters of SmCo5 phase were determined: domain wall energy 120 erg/cm2, critical diameter for single domain particle size 2 μm and domain wall thickness 60 Å. In the case of SmCo5, and also other phases with high magnetocrystalline anisotropy, Domain Theory presents several advantages when compared with Micromagnetics.

Abstract The electronic conductivities of ferroelectric domain walls have been extensively explored over the past decade for potential nanoelectronic applications. However, the realization of logic devices based on ferroelectric domain walls requires reliable and flexible control of the domain-wall configuration and conduction path. Here, we demonstrate electric-field-controlled stable and repeatable on-and-off switching of conductive domain walls within topologically confined vertex domains naturally formed in self-assembled ferroelectric nano-islands. Using a combination of piezoresponse force microscopy, conductive atomic force microscopy, and phase-field simulations, we show that on-off switching is accomplished through reversible transformations between charged and neutral domain walls via electric-field-controlled domain-wall reconfiguration. By analogy to logic processing, we propose programmable logic gates (such as NOT, OR, AND and their derivatives) and logic circuits (such as fan-out) based on reconfigurable conductive domain walls. Our work provides a potentially viable platform for programmable all-electric logic based on a ferroelectric domain-wall network with low energy consumption.
