Abstract
Permalloy (Ni 18Fe 19) films and foils were fabricated by means of electroplating. Two different types of samples were produced, (i) a patterned permalloy film on a Si wafer (type 1) and (ii) a NiFe foil (type 2), which was separated from the substrate after deposition. The samples were characterized employing magnetic force microscopy (MFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron-backscatter diffraction (EBSD). On the foil type sample, MFM reveals a maze domain pattern, and on the structured samples (type 1), a Landau domain pattern is obtained. EBSD enables the identification of the permalloy Kikuchi pattern without the effect of a substrate. The analysis reveals randomly oriented grains with a narrow size distribution.
