Extract

For magnetic flux mapping in magnetic materials it is important to use a simple, reliable and quantitative method operating with resolution down to few nanometers scale. The traditional off-axes electron holography can reach, in principle, such a resolution. However, the time-consuming phase reconstruction procedure limits its applications to real-time dynamic studies of magnetic domains behavior under varied external field. A novel recently developed in-line holographic approach, based on magnetic interferograms generated by phase-coherent Foucault (PCF)-imaging, complies with most of these demands and is suitable for dynamic studies of domain structure. For instance, it was successfully applied for induction mapping of closure domains in soft Fe-films [1]. It was found, however, that the resolution of PCF-imaging was lower than that of off-axis electron holography, since it is limited by the observed fringe spacing [2].

We report that the real resolution of PCF-imaging can be improved significantly with help of a novel phase amplification method.
