24. A small residual pattern is observed at 349 K near the center of the previous closure domains. However, as shown in Figs. 2(a) and 2(b), contrast anomaly by the diffraction effect is also visible at the same position. Therefore, the residual pattern is likely to be due to the artificial phase shift by the diffraction effect. Lattice defects in the specimen may also affect the observed magnetic domains.
