Nanosurf AFM was employed for Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) study of NdFeCo thin films with strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy deposited onto Si. The observed stripe-like magnetic domains exhibit a variety of configurations ranging from ordered parallel stripe to disordered labyrinthine patterns that depend on residual stress, presence of defects and magnetic history.
