Soft X-ray magnetic vector tomography has been used to visualize with unprecedented detail and solely from experimental data the 3D magnetic configuration of a ferrimagnetic Gd12Co88/Nd17Co83/Gd24Co76 multilayer with competing anisotropy, exchange and magnetostatic interactions at different depths. The trilayer displays magnetic stripe domains, arranged in a chevron pattern, which are imprinted from the central Nd17Co83 into the bottom Gd12Co88 layer with a distorted closure domain structure across the thickness. Near the top Gd24Co76 layer, local exchange springs with out-of-plane magnetization reversal, modulated ripple patterns and magnetic vortices and antivortices across the thickness are observed. The detailed analysis of the magnetic tomogram shows that the effective strength of the exchange spring at the NdCo/GdCo interface can be finely tuned by GdxCo1-x composition and anisotropy (determined by sample fabrication) and in-plane stripe orientation (adjustable), demonstrating the capability of 3D magnetic visualization techniques in magnetic engineering research.
Magnetic topological defects are energetically stable spin configurations characterized by symmetry breaking. Vortices and skyrmions are two well-known examples of 2D spin textures that have been actively studied for both fundamental interest and pra
Materials hosting magnetic skyrmions at room temperature could enable new computing architectures as well as compact and energetically efficient magnetic storage such as racetrack memories. In a racetrack device, information is coded by the presence/
We show that it is possible to engineer magnetic multi-domain configurations without domain walls in a prototypical rare earth/transition metal ferrimagnet using keV He+ ion bombardment. We additionally shown that these patterns display a particularl
The electronic structure of the nanolaminated transition metal carbide Ti2AlC has been investigated by bulk-sensitive soft x-ray emission spectroscopy. The measured Ti L, C K and Al L emission spectra are compared with calculated spectra using ab ini
The knowledge of how the magnetization looks inside a ferromagnet is often hindered by the limitations of the available experimental methods that are sensitive only to the surface regions or limited in spatial resolution. We report the 3D tomographic
