Figure 7. Off-axis electron holography of magnetic fields.

Figure 7

(A) Lorentz microscopy of magnetite particles, complementary high magnification BF/HAADF-STEM of individual particles confirmed crystallinity and arrangement of 32 nm Fe3O4 nanoparticle. Off-axis electron holography revealed magnetic fields of magnetite particles. (B) Reference hologram, (C) Object hologram of particle indicated in (A), the contour of nanoparticle was indicated with a yellow circle. (D) Magnetic contribution to the phase shift, (E) Colored magnetic phase contours around individual Fe3O4 particle, the arrows show the direction of magnetization. Micromagnetic calculations based on the dynamic magnetization by finite element method for spherical Fe3O4 nanoparticles for analysis of the direction of magnetization, (F) Saturated magnetization pointing along the magnetic anisotropy direction, (G) Saturated magnetization with circular orientation around middle zone.
