Magnetic Domain Patterns in Bilayered Ribbons Studied by Magnetic Force Microscopy and Magneto-Optical Kerr Microscopy

Figure 6

The surface topographies (AFM (a)) and their corresponding magnetic images (phase shift, MFM (b)) observed from the air side of FeSiB/FeNbSiB (BL-FF) sample. 3D images are presented at lower subplots. Apart from a clear magnetic domains structure, a few artefacts due to protrusions on the surface structure comparable to the lift of the tip in the MFM second pass (250 nm) can be seen in magnetic images.
