TL;DR: The factors that determine the local magnetic properties of FeCo/SiO2 nanocomposite powders and films have been analysed and it is found that the magnetic moment should be partly governed by alloying effects.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the substrate orientation on the surface morphology of the deposited layers was investigated by reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for measuring nanoscale deformation in a portion (B) of a crystalline specimen, comprising the following steps: i) a lamella-shaped specimen comprising a measurement zone (B), and a reference zone (A), the latter being assumed to be free of deformations and coplanar with the measurement zone, is prepared; ii) one face of said specimen is illuminated by an electron beam (Fin); iii) a beam (F1 B) of the radiation diffracted by the measurement Zone (B).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated experimentally curling magnetic configurations locally observed in almost dispersed Permalloy nanoparticles in the remanent state using off-axis electron holography.

TL;DR: In this article, a strong variation of the magnetic properties and APB density of Fe3O4(001) epitaxial thin films grown on thin Fe and Cr buffer layers on a MgO (001) substrate was reported.
