Magnetic domain contrast from cubic materials in the scanning electron microscope
TLDR
In this paper, a model which is capable of explaining the observed effects is proposed to explain the differences in reflected and back-scattered electron yield from domains magnetized in different directions.Abstract:
Contrast arising from the domain structure of ferromagnetic materials with cubic anisotropy has been observed in the scanning electron microscope. The contrast is due to differences in reflected and back-scattered electron yield from domains magnetized in different directions. A model which is capable of explaining the observed effects is proposed.read more

Monte Carlo modelling of electron-solid interactions
Ryuichi Shimizu,Ding Ze-Jun +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the development of Monte Carlo modelling of electron-solid interactions and described a typical calculation procedure for Monte Carlo simulation from the standpoint of a physicist who does his or her own programming.

Physical background of electron backscattering
TL;DR: In this paper, the parameters governing electron backscattering from thin films and from bulk solids are reviewed: atomic scattering cross-section, atomic number, single/multiple scattering, film thickness, scattering angular distribution, angle of incidence, diffraction effects.

A new method of observing magnetic domains by scanning electron microscopy I. Theory of the image contrast
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory is developed to explain the magnetic domain contrast observed by scanning electron microscopy using the method reported recently, which is based on a model which assumes that the contrast is due to the Lorentz deflection of the incident electrons inside the specimen.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new method of observing magnetic domains by scanning electron microscopy. II. Experimental confirmation of the theory of image contrast
TL;DR: In this article, experiments have been carried out to test the predictions of the theory of type II magnetic contrast, which is an effect enabling magnetic domains in materials including those with cubic anisotropy to be directly observed by scanning electron microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monte Carlo calculations of magnetic contrast from cubic materials in the scanning electron microscope
TL;DR: In this paper, Monte Carlo calculations confirm that contrast observed in the scanning electron microscope from magnetic domains in materials of cubic anisotropy is due to the alteration of electron trajectories within the specimen.

Direct observation of magnetic domains by scanning electron microscopy
D. C. Joy,J. P. Jakubovics +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the magnetic domain patterns on the surfaces of cobalt specimens have been observed directly by scanning electron microscopy and it was shown that the cause of the contrast is the deflection of secondary electrons by the Lorentz force due to the demagnetizing fields near the specimen surface.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that grain to grain contrast can be observed in scanning electron microscopy, which opens up new fields of applications for this instrument and can be used to detect low contrast.
