Nd-Fe-B magnets play a key role for sustainable energy conversion for example in wind turbines or electric motors due to their superior magnetic performance and high energy density. In this talk, we provide insights into the 3D magnetic domain structure of nanostructured Nd-Fe-B magnets obtained by X-ray magnetic tomography. We imaged the magnetic interaction domain structure inside the bulk of a nanostructured hot-deformed anisotropic nanocrystalline Nd2Fe14B magnet to correlate the crystal and micro structure and the magnetic moment configuration. We demonstrate that surface effects, such as flux-closure domains, do not dominate the magnetic domain pattern at the surface and reveal the complex domain structure in deeper sections of the permanent magnet. We acknowledge funding by CRC TRR 270.
