Résumé

Imaging the magnetic configuration of thin-films has been a long-standing area of research. Since a few years, the emergence of two-dimensional ferromagnetic materials calls for innovation in the field of magnetic imaging. As the magnetic moments are extremely small, standard techniques like SQUID, torque magnetometry, magnetic force microscopy and Kerr effect microscopy are challenging and often lead to the detection of parasitic magnetic contributions or spurious effects. In this work, we report a new magnetic microscopy technique based on the combination of magnetic circular dichroism and Seebeck effect in semiconductor/ferromagnet bilayers. We implement this method with perpendicularly magnetized (Co/Pt) multilayers sputtered on Ge (111). We further show that the electrical detection of MCD is more sensitive than the Kerr magnetometry, especially in the ultra-thin film regime, which makes it particularly promising for the study of emergent two-dimensional ferromagnetic materials.
