LEEM and XMCD-XPEEM images of a 300 nm thick MnAs sample. (a) The sketch illustrates the surface morphology and structure of the MnAs thin films at room temperature. (b) LEEM image taken with a primary electron energy of 11eV. The bright area corresponds to the β-phase. (c) XMCD-PEEM image at the L 3 Mn edge showing the ferromagnetic MnAs domains in the α-phase and the paramagnetic domain in the β-phase.
