Abstract:
The magnetic phase shift of an electron wave traveling through a magnetized object is computed by considering the object to be made up of a collection of uniformly magnetized spheres arranged on the nodes of a cubic grid. In the limit of vanishing grid size, this approach becomes equivalent to other numerical approaches. Update equations are derived for the change of the magnetic phase shift when the magnetization of a single object voxel is modified. Example phase shift calculations are presented for a uniformly magnetized sphere, circular disks with an infinitely sharp vortex core and a smooth core, and an oval disk with a pair of vortices and an antivortex.
