Some results of an investigation of magnetic bubble domains in thin hexaferrite crystals using Lorentz microscopy are presented. The structure of the bubble domains is discussed and the methods used to produce them are described. With the use of variable bias field and pulsed magnetic fields in the electron microscope, changes of state in bubbles and switching of bubble wall chirality could be observed directly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
