Abstract
Quantitative Lorentz microscopy and electron holography are applied to probe the local magnetic properties of ferromagnetic nanostructures. We show here the possibilities of these techniques for the mapping of the magnetization states of nanoscale ferromagnets grown by focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) and for the analysis of the magnetization processes by the in situ application of magnetic fields.
