摘要: Electron holography has revealed dipolar ferromagnetic domain structures in ordered monolayer arrays of Co nanoparticles. In zero-field-cooling experiments, we demonstrate the formation micron-sized magnetically regions with transverse walls, and a spatially varying moment order parameter. Truncated vortex that can be modified by an applied field are observed near sample edges. The collectively magnetized state shows soft magnetic properties long-range is stable over times 1h at 108K.
