Abstract:
This review explores a method of visualizing a demagnetization field (H) within a thin-foiled Nd2Fe14B specimen using electron holography observation. Mapping the H is critical in electron holography as it provides the only information on magnetic flux density. The H map within a Nd2Fe14B thin foil, derived from this method, showed good agreement with the micromagnetic simulation result, providing valuable insights related to coercivity. Furthermore, this review examines the application of the wavelet hidden Markov model (WHMM) for noise suppression in thin-foiled Nd2Fe14B crystals. The results show significant suppression of artificial phase jumps in the reconstructed phase images due to the poor visibility of electron holograms under the narrowest fringe spacing required for spatial resolution in electron holography. These techniques substantially enhance the precision of phase analysis and are applicable to a wide range of magnetic materials, enabling more accurate magnetic characterization.

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
