description Abstract Results on the magnetic domain walls in rapidly solidified magnetostrictive and non-magnetostrictive amorphous submicronic wires are reported. Utilizing Lorentz transmission electron microscopy (LTEM) for the first time in this context, we have visualized and analyzed the domain walls in such ultra-thin amorphous wires. All the investigated samples display vortex magnetic domain walls, regardless of wire composition or diameter. In non-magnetostrictive wires, the domain walls maintain their structure and symmetry under varying magnetic field conditions. In contrast, magnetostrictive wires show an elongation of their domain walls upon magnetic field application, a response linked to the magnetoelastic coupling between magnetostriction and internal stresses induced during wire preparation. This study advances the understanding of magnetization reversal processes in amorphous submicronic wires. The insights gained are crucial for future developments in miniaturized magnetic devices.
