Ferroelastic control of magnetic domain structure: direct imaging by Magnetic Force Microscopy

S. D. Seddon, C. R. S. Haines, T. P. A. Hase +4

Pyrrhotite, Fe${}_7$S${}_8$, provides an example of exceptionally strong magnetoelastic coupling through pinning of ferromagnetic domains by ferroelastic twins. Using direct imaging of…
