The interplay of spin and electronic degrees of freedom in strongly correlated electron systems is a fruitful route towards many exotic and unexpected phenomena. In particular, rich magnetic phase diagrams can be found in systems with additional magnetic anisotropies. While the bulk magnetic properties are often well explored, the evolution of the microscopic magnetic domain structure within the phase diagram remains elusive. Using low temperature magnetic force microscopy with vector magnet capabilities [1], we explore the evolution and manipulation of magnetic domains in the centrosymmetric ferromagnet CeRu₂Ga₂B [2]. This compound exhibits transitions among dendritic, stripe, and bubble domain phases. We highlight the domain evolution with a vector magnetic field in this Ising-like spin system and demonstrate the manipulation of individual bubble domains through the magnetic tip of our scanning probe microscope.
