Abstract

Magnetic textures in the ferromagnetic phases of La1xSrxMnO3 for 0.15<x<0.30 have been investigated by Lorentz microscopy combined with small-angle electron diffraction experiments. Various types of magnetic textures characterized by stripe, plate-shaped, and cylindrical (magnetic bubble) domains were found. Two distinct types of magnetic stripe domains appeared in the orthorhombic structure with an inversion symmetry of La0.825Sr0.175MnO3, depending significantly on magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Based on in situ observations as functions of temperature and the strength of the external magnetic field, a magnetic field-temperature phase diagram was constructed, showing the stabilization of magnetic bubbles in the ferromagnetic phase of La0.825Sr0.175MnO3.
