• investigate the surface domain structure of the composite materials with the sample in the remanent state (Figure 6c and Figure 6d). For comparison, the corresponding AFM images are also shown (Figure 6a and Figure 6b). In the case of the ion-milled system no well-defined magnetic domain structure at
