Magnetoelectric domains and their switching mechanism in a Y-type hexaferrite

Francis P Chmiel, Dharmalingam Prabahakaran, Paul Steadman +4

By employing resonant X-ray microdiffraction, we image the magnetisation and magnetic polarity domains of the Y-type hexaferrite Ba${}_{0.5}$Sr${}_{1.5}$Mg${}_2$Fe${}_{12}$O${}_{22}$. We sho…
