• industrial process. But, SiC nanoparticles also exhibit properties different from the bulk material and allow the creation of composite materials with new properties. Thus, their production has been studied by different methods such as the thermal pyrolysis of organic precursors [3][4][5], or plasma

• . However, most of these methods have disadvantages such as high fabrication costs, lengthy preparation times, small-sized nanostructured areas (few square microns) or restricted chemical functionality due to the limited access to composite materials. In particular, the number of material surfaces that

• offer a tuneable parameter range is insufficient. In spite of the huge progress in material science, chemical and topographical surface gradients have mainly been investigated separately [13] neglecting composite materials such as semiconductor/metal structures [14][15][16][17]. Only a few attempts to

For comparison, the corresponding AFM images are also shown (Figure 6a and Figure 6b). In the case of the ion-milled system no well-defined magnetic domain structure at
