Abstract :
There are few theoretical works to analyze the signals used in the spin-polarized scanning electron microscope. We have developed a Monte Carlo simulation model of electron scattering in magnetic materials and analyzed several characteristics of spin-polarized secondary electron emission. In this work we study the magnetic domain images in the spin-polarized scanning electron microscope with the Monte Carlo simulation.
