Imaging of Curved Magnetic Architectures

Abstract

In this chapter, different strategies to study statics and dynamics of magnetic textures on curved nano- and micro-architectures will be discussed. The methods will include not only top-view imaging using conventional scanning or full-field microscopes (force microscopes and optical microscopes) but also neutron-based, electron- based and X-ray-based (soft and hard X-rays) holography and tomography techniques. The fundamentals of vector field tomography will be provided. Specific examples will be introduced. Challenges and outlook to further development of the methodology will be given.
