Two types of magnetic bubbles in MnNiGa observed via Lorentz microscopy

Abstract

Magnetic bubbles are remarkable spin structures that developed in uniaxial magnets with strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Several contradictory reports have been published concerning the magnetic bubble structure in a metallic magnet MnNiGa: Biskyrmions or type-II bubbles. Lorentz microscopy in polycrystalline MnNiGa was used to explain the magnetic bubble structure. Depending on the connection between the magnetic easy axis and the observation plane, two types of magnetic bubbles were formed. Magnetic bubbles with 180° domains were formed if the easy axis was away from the direction perpendicular to the observation plane. The contrast of biskyrmion is reproduced by this form of a magnetic bubble. When the easy axis was approximately perpendicular to the observing plane, type-II bubbles were observed in the same specimen. The findings will fill a knowledge gap between prior reports on magnetic bubbles in MnNiGa.
