Magnetic Domains Observation from Bitter Patterns of NdFeB Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Bitter method is an adequate method for domains observation, and depends on careful metallographic preparation and also on a proper magnetic colloid solution. In this study, Bitter patterns were obtained for a Nd-Fe-B as-cast alloy. The Nd2Fe14B grains show strong anisotropy during growing, and are larger for the direction perpendicular to the easy magnetization axis. The equilibrium distance between domain walls allows an estimate of intrinsic parameters of ferromagnetic phases as the domain wall energy and the single domain particle size.
