Abstract

The electron spin-polarization scanning electron microscope (spin-SEM) uses the polarization of secondary electrons scattered out from magnetic materials to image the surface magnetic structure. The magnetic-domain contrast of the spin-SEM depends on the incident electron energy and the incident angle. We calculated the spin polarization of secondary electrons using a Monte Carlo simulation of electron scattering in magnetic materials based on the single scattering model.
