    Imaging of buried 3D magnetic rolled-up nanomembranes
    (Washington, DC : American Chemical Society, 2014) Streubel, R.; Han, L.; Kronast, F.; Ünal, A.A.; Schmidt, O.G.; Makarov, D.
    Increasing performance and enabling novel functionalities of microelectronic devices, such as three-dimensional (3D) on-chip architectures in optics, electronics, and magnetics, calls for new approaches in both fabrication and characterization. Up to now, 3D magnetic architectures had mainly been studied by integral means without providing insight into local magnetic microstructures that determine the device performance. We prove a concept that allows for imaging magnetic domain patterns in buried 3D objects, for example, magnetic tubular architectures with multiple windings. The approach is based on utilizing the shadow contrast in transmission X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) photoemission electron microscopy and correlating the observed 2D projection of the 3D magnetic domains with simulated XMCD patterns. That way, we are not only able to assess magnetic states but also monitor the field-driven evolution of the magnetic domain patterns in individual windings of buried magnetic rolled-up nanomembranes.

    Photoemission electron microscopy of magneto-ionic effects in La0.7Sr0.3MnO3
    (Melville, NY : AIP Publ., 2020) Wilhelm, Marek; Giesen, Margret; Duchoň, Tomáš; Moors, Marco; Mueller, David N.; Hackl, Johanna; Baeumer, Christoph; Hamed, Mai Hussein; Cao, Lei; Zhang, Hengbo; Petracic, Oleg; Glöß, Maria; Cramm, Stefan; Nemšák, Slavomír; Wiemann, Carsten; Dittmann, Regina; Schneider, Claus M.; Müller, Martina
    Magneto-ionic control of magnetism is a promising route toward the realization of non-volatile memory and memristive devices. Magneto-ionic oxides are particularly interesting for this purpose, exhibiting magnetic switching coupled to resistive switching, with the latter emerging as a perturbation of the oxygen vacancy concentration. Here, we report on electric-field-induced magnetic switching in a La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) thin film. Correlating magnetic and chemical information via photoemission electron microscopy, we show that applying a positive voltage perpendicular to the film surface of LSMO results in the change in the valence of the Mn ions accompanied by a metal-to-insulator transition and a loss of magnetic ordering. Importantly, we demonstrate that the voltage amplitude provides granular control of the phenomena, enabling fine-tuning of the surface electronic structure. Our study provides valuable insight into the switching capabilities of LSMO that can be utilized in magneto-ionic devices. © 2020 Author(s).
