Thermomagnetic patterning (TMP) of 4 μm thick high performance NdFeB hard magnetic films deposited on Si substrates has been achieved using single pulsed laser irradiation. Uniaxially magnetised chessboard and stripe patterns with lateral feature sizes in the range 50–100 were produced. The depth reversal was estimated, both global (vibrating sample magnetometry) localized (scanning Hall probe) measurements, to be 1.1–1.2 μm. A simple model provides semiquantitative agreement experimental...
Scanning Hall probe microscopy has been used for the quantitative measurement of z-component (out-of-plane) stray magnetic fields produced by Nd–Fe–B hard films patterned at micron scale using both topographic and thermomagnetic methods. Peak-to-peak field values in range 20–120 mT have measured scan heights 25–30 μm above samples. Quantitative comparison between calculated profiles gives nondestructive access to micromagnets’ internal structure. In case topographically average value...
We report here on the fabrication of hard magnetic powder based micro-flux sources using micro-patterned films as templates or master structures. The micro-magnetic imprinting (μMI) process is simple and constituent materials final structures, commercial powders polymer, are inexpensive. structures may be transparent, either flexible rigid, depending choice polymer matrix used. peak-to-peak intensity z-component stray field measured above a test μMI structure made with spherical NdFeB...
Recent developments in the observation of magnetic domains and domain walls by wide-field optical microscopy based on magneto-optical Kerr, Faraday, Voigt, Gradient effect are reviewed.

Abstract Time‐resolved metallographic optical microscopy techniques are used together with magnetic domain imaging to clarify the interaction between domains and twin boundary (TB) motion in shape memory NiMnGa single crystals. The field stress induced formation is imaged by a magneto‐optical indicator film technique. Reversible TB visualized up high actuation speeds. From observation at adjacent crystal surfaces fundamental volume processes during strain motions derived. For structural...

Thermal with high sensitivity, micrometer spatial and millisecond temporal resolution demonstrated in contactless read-out scheme.
Magneto-optical imaging films (MOIFs) were used for the study of magnetic stray field distributions above topographically and thermomagnetically patterned permanent magnet other miniature elements that could be in micro-systems. Calibrated external bias fields applied to samples situ simplify graduation procedure, expand measurement range minimize errors. Both uniaxial planar MOIF make quantitative measurements. A scheme fast reconstruction serial sections non-uniform profiles is proposed....
Micromagnets have been reported to successfully levitate picoliter water droplets in air. Manipulation of levitating is a contamination-free alternative digital-microfluidic labs-on-chip where are handled channels or on substrate. An integrated electromagnetic hybrid device combining dielectrophoretic (DEP) forces control the position along magnetic groove, proposed.

Ferrimagnetic GdCo5−xCux alloys exhibiting the effect of Gd- and 3d-sublattice magnetization compensations at defined temperatures were studied with respect to their use as thermoreversible permanent magnets (PMs). Coercive fields μ0Hc in range 0.3–1.6T measured for annealed single crystals x=1–2.2 having compensation points vicinity room temperature. Two applications such a PM, namely, thermally controlled actuator contactless temperature sensor, are demonstrated.
