In inhomogeneous bulk ferromagnets, the dominating sources of spin disorder are related to spatial variations of (i) the magnitude of the local saturation magnetization and of (ii) the magnitude and/or direction of the magnetic anisotropy…
Magnetic-field-dependent unpolarized small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments demonstrate that high-pressure torsion (HPT) straining induces spin misalignments in pure Ni, which persist in magnetic fields up to 4 T. The…
We report the results of a comparative study of the magnetic microstructure of textured and isotropic $\mathrm{Nd}_2\mathrm{Fe}_{14}\mathrm{B}/\alpha$-$\mathrm{Fe}$ nanocomposites using magnetometry, transmission electron microscopy,…
It is now possible to create perfect crystal nanowires of many metals. The deformation of such objects requires a good understanding of the processes involved in plasticity at the nanoscale. Isotropic compression of such nanometre scale…
The performance characteristics of magnetic nanoparticles towards application, e.g. in medicine, imaging, or as sensors, is directly determined by their magnetization relaxation and total magnetic moment. In the commonly assumed picture,…
We employ magnetic small-angle neutron scattering to investigate the magnetic interactions in $(Fe_{0.7}Ni_{0.3})_{86}B_{14}$ alloy, a HiB-NANOPERM-type soft magnetic nanocrystalline material, which exhibits an ultrafine microstructure with…

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected stable magnetization configurations, which are expected to be a promising candidate as information carrier, while defect is inevitable and plays an important role on the stabilization and…
We report the discovery of scaling in the mesoscale magnetic microstructure of bulk ferromagnets. Supported by analytical micromagnetic theory, we introduce the field-dependent scaling length $l_{\mathrm{C}}(H)$, which describes the…
The finite size and surface roughness effects on the magnetization of NiO nanoparticles is investigated. A large magnetic moment arises for an antiferromagnetic nanoparticle due to these effects. The magnetic moment without the surface…
Segmented magnetic nanowires are a promising route for the development of three dimensional data storage techniques. Such devices require a control of the coercive field and the coupling mechanisms between individual magnetic elements. In…
