Figure 1

(a) Mosaic of 9 LEEM images that cover an area of about 30 × 30 μm2 (each individual image has a field of view of 12 μm). The x-axis and y-axis directions correspond to [110] and \([\bar{1}\mathrm{10]}\) respectively. (b) Vector magnetization map obtained at room temperature combining SPLEEM images acquired along three orthogonal axes in the same area shown in (a). (c) Vector magnetization map of the same area acquired after annealing the crystal for several hours at 873 K and cooling back to room temperature. (d) Colourmap with hue colour wheel indicating the azimuthal angle and brightness indicating the polar angle. (e) Histogram of the in-plane component of the magnetization from (b).
