Since it was first demonstrated in 1987, magnetic force microscopy (MFM) has become a
truly widespread and commonly used characterization technique that has been applied to a …

Topological defects in condensed matter are attracting e significant attention due to their
important role in phase transition and their fascinating characteristics. Among the various …

A Bloch point (BP) is a topological defect in a ferromagnet at which the local magnetization
vanishes. With the difficulty of generating a stable BP in magnetic nanostructures, the …

Recent progress in nanofabrication and additive manufacturing have facilitated the building
of nanometer-scale three-dimensional (3D) structures, that promise to lead to an emergence …

With the advent of modern synchrotron sources, X-ray microscopy was developed as a
vigorous tool for imaging material structures with element-specific, structural, chemical and …

The magnetic vortex has sparked the interest of the academic and industrial communities
over the last few decades. From their discovery in the 1970s for bubble memory devices to …

Antiferromagnets (AFMs) are strong candidates for the future spintronic and memory
applications largely because of their inherently fast dynamics and lack of stray fields, with …

A three-dimensional singular point that consists of two oppositely aligned emergent
monopoles is identified in continuous CoTb thin films, as confirmed by complementary …

Topological domain structures have drawn great attention as they have potential
applications in future electronic devices. As an important concept linking the quantum and …

Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy thin film systems are well known for their periodic
magnetic stripe domain structures. In this study, we focus on investigating the behavior of …
