摘要: Scanning electron microscopy with polarization analysis has been used to image domains of ultrathin Fe films grown epitaxially on a Ag(100) substrate. Room‐temperature measurements show clearly the existence large in‐plane magnetization for film thicknesses 3.4 monolayers or more. No were observed thinner films.
