Setting up a temperature-dependent Kerr-Microscope
The Master topic will focus on building a magneto-optical Kerr Microscope. With this microscope magnetic domain walls can be visualized. In a second step, the motion of these walls due to temperature gradients will be studied.
To get a deeper insight into the topic, please check the following papers:
