The method of x-ray-diffraction topography, which is briefly described is applied to the study of magnetic domains in a single-crystal sample of Tb3Fe5O12. Comparison is made with the same domain structure observed by transmitted polarized light and Bitter patterns, and a general interpretation of the diffraction topograph is suggested. Finally, the possible applications of the technique, particularly with respect to garnet materials, are briefly discussed.
