Fig. 1: AF domains and domain walls.
From: Defect-driven antiferromagnetic domain walls in CuMnAs films
a XMLD-PEEM image showing AF domains with spin axes parallel to [110] (dark areas) or \([\bar{1}10]\) (light areas). b XMLD-PEEM image for the same area as (a) showing AF domain walls with spin axes parallel to [100] (black lines) or [010] (white lines); the contrast in the domains appears gray. The greyscale wheels indicate the local spin axis in each image and the blue arrows represent the incident X-ray direction. The diameter of the red circle is 12.5 μm. c High-resolution XMLD-PEEM image of the domains from the circled area in (a). d High-resolution XMLD-PEEM image of the domain walls from the circled area in (b). e High-resolution XLD-PEEM image of the same area as in (c) and (d) showing lines arising from defects. f Composite image showing the relationship between the XMLD-PEEM and XLD-PEEM images. The black and white areas show the magnetic domains, solid red and blue lines show the domain walls with the orientation indicated by the color wheel and the broken yellow lines represent the structural defects revealed by XLD-PEEM.
