Abstract

Among new materials designed for magnetic logic or future MRAM devices, the chemically ordered, self organized, FePd alloys are of the best candidates. We will present analysis of the magnetic configurations of these alloys performed by Electron holography [1] and Lorentz microscopy [2]. Comparison of different ways for imaging magnetic distribution in a TEM will also be discussed.
