Extended Data Fig. 9. Pattern-induced domain formation in 2 μm bar width unfilled hexagons with edges aligned parallel to the $⟨\mathbf{1}\overline{\mathbf{1}}\mathbf{00}⟩$ magnetic easy axes and the $⟨\mathbf{2}\overline{\mathbf{1}}\overline{\mathbf{1}}\mathbf{0}⟩$ magnetic hard axes.

a, b, XMLD- and XMCD-PEEM images, respectively, of easy axis hexagon. c, d, Same as a, b, for hard axis hexagon. e, Intensity distribution of XMCD values measured in the blue and red outlined regions in b and d.
