Place: 6th floor small seminar room, Sengen
Fundamentals and applications of the magnetic imaging methods using electron
waves will be presented. The first part of the lecture explains the methods
of electron holography and Lorentz microscopy, both of which are useful
tools for studies of magnetic microstructures. The other part is of applications
of these electron microscopy techniques. I will mainly talk about determination
of magnetic flux density in a nanometer-scale interface region (i.e., antiophase
boundary) observed in Heusler alloys. In addition, I will briefly mention
about other topics, nucleation and growth process of the ferromagnetic
phase in a perovskite-type manganite, and estimation of magnetic parameters
(e.g., magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant) using electron microscopy
observations.
