Magnetic Imaging

  • Chapter
Magnetism: A Synchrotron Radiation Approach

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 697))

Abstract

Imaging of magnetic domains has contributed significantly to our present level of understanding of micromagnetic phenomena. A number of modern techniques is used nowadays routinely for magnetic imaging of magnetic materials and nanostructures. In this chapter, state-of-the art techniques for imaging magnetic structures are introduced, and the underlying physical phenomena are discussed. The strengths and disadvantages as well as special features of the individual techniques will be discussed in the light of their applicability and complementarity for addressing specific questions and problems.
