Abstract Details: 

Ballistic Hall micromagnetometry is a technique to measure magnetisation of the mesoscopic objects. Since it was introduced in mid-90s, it was successfully used to study collective vortex formation and penetration in mesoscopic superconductors, magnetisation states of microscopic ferromagnets, ferromagnetic domain wall propagation on atomic scale and many other phenomena. Still, the range of applications of this technique was rather limited due to the properties of the two-dimensional electron gas in III-V GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures used. The advent of graphene, where ballistic transport extends practically to room temperatures, allowed us to revisit this technique and consider its application to study a much broader range of phenomena. Furthermore, as recently 2D ferromagnets became the centre of attention, the van der Waals heterostructures, formed between graphene and 2D ferromagnets, present an ideal system to study magnetic properties of such materials. In my talk I will review the opportunities presented by Ballistic Hall micromagnetometry and will focus on the recent advances in terms of it applications to study 2D ferromagnets.
