Abstract

Iron film surfaces have been studied after their chemical treatment in a magnetic field. The chemical treatment of a metal leads to the appearance of a relief image that is interpreted as a “photograph” of magnetic scattering fields. The morphology of the relief image formed is shown to correlate with the domain structure of a magnetic film. The magnetochemical effect revealed allows the visualization of the dependence of the scattering field distribution at the sample surface on external magnetic field.
