Magnetization Analysis by Spin-Polarized Scanning Electron Microscopy

Abstract EN

Spin-polarized scanning electron microscopy (spin SEM) is a method for observing magnetic-domain structures by detecting the spin polarization of secondary electrons.

It has several unique abilities such as detection of full magnetization orientation and high-spatial-resolution measurement.

Several spin-SEM experiments have demonstrated that it is a promising method for studying various types of magnetic materials and devices.

This review paper presents several spin-SEM observations to demonstrate the capability and potential of spin SEM.
