The transverse domains are found together with more conventional vortex domains along the same cylindrical nanowire, denoting a bistable system with similar energies. The surface and the inner magnetization distribution in both types of domains are analyzed by photoemission electron microscopy with x-ray magnetic circular dichroism contrast, and hysteresis loop in individual nanowires are measured by magneto-optical Kerr effect. These experimental data are understood and compared with complementary micromagnetic simulations.5 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Physical Society, 2017MagnetismeMaterials magnèticsTeoria quàntica de campsMagnetismMagnetic materialsQuantum field theoryDirect observation of transverse and vortex metastable magnetic domains in cylindrical nanowiresinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6733912017-09-27info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
