摘要
In order to make full use of novel magnetic materials such as layered information storage materials, it is important to understand their microstructure, composition profile and magnetic domain structure. Local inhomogeneities in these properties require analysis with high spatial resolution, and this paper describes the application of transmission electron microscope and three-dimensional atom probe microanalysis to the study of these materials.
