Bismuth Ferrite (BFO) is a fascinating material in which magnetic order can be controlled purely through electrical means, making it a promising candidate for ultra-efficient, next-generation spintronic devices. The Qnami ProteusQ has been effectively utilized to image its electrical and magnetic domains, as demonstrated by numerous publications.
Paul Stevenson’s research at Northeastern University utilized the Qnami ProteusQ microscope to enhance vector magnetometry, allowing precise measurement of both parallel and perpendicular stray fields in complex materials like bismuth ferrite.
Scanning NV Magnetometry unlocks the characterization of the effects of strain and electrical fields on exotic antiferromagnetic spin textures in multiferroics.
French research group led by Prof. M. Viret uses scanning NV magnetometry to reveal a novel type of chiral spin-textures occurring on BiFeO3’s domain-walls.
