摘要
The present work investigates experimentally curling magnetic configurations locally observed in almost dispersed Permalloy nanoparticles in the remanent state. Magnetic analysis is performed in a field emission TEM using off-axis electron holography. Particularly, electron holography is used to characterize the magnetic microstructure of Fe30Ni70 nanoparticles, whose average diameter (50 nm) is expected to be close to the critical size for a curling magnetic structure (vortex) formation. The vortex core diameter D-core and the bulk magnetic profile of the vortex are measured and compared with a " rigid vortex'' micromagnetic model. The connection between vortex structure and the characteristic micromagnetic length of the system deduced from magnetization curve measurements is discussed. (C) 2008 Elsevier B. V.
