• ) Reading process at Vrd = −2V and three steps of the erasing process Ver = −3, −4 and −5 V. The conducting character of the initial LSMO is recovered after applying Ver ≈ −Vwr. (b) Series of topographic images of the erased region show that the process does not result in morphological changes. Experimental

• distort the silicon. The contrast observed corresponds to regions where helium bubbles have formed and silicon has been displaced. At this point we have described the morphological changes induced by a high dose of HIM irradiation on sample 3. We then investigated the effect of the HIM modification on the

• -resolution pole piece and a PGT energy dispersive X-Ray (EDX) analyser. The morphology of as-grown CoPt NPs is shown in Figure 2a. NPs have irregular shapes elongated in the substrate plane due to coalescence processes during the synthesis. The morphological changes induced by the laser irradiation as a
