Recent advances in atomic-scale spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy.
The Mn3N2 (010) surface has been studied using spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy at the atomic scale. The principle objective of this work is to elucidate the properties and potential of this technique to measure atomic-scale magnetic structures. The experimental approach involves the use of a combined molecular beam epitaxy/scanning tunneling microscopy system that allows the study ...
متن کاملSpin-polarized Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy of Ultrathin Films
Using low temperature spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy we have studied the morphology and magnetic properties of ultrathin Fe(0.5 ML)Au(0.5 ML) nanowires prepared on a Mo(110) single crystal. The Fe nanostripes grown by step flow on a Mo(110) at 700 K were covered by Au at RT, and subsequently annealed at 700 K. Differences in the morphology of Au on Fe(110)/Mo(110) and clean Mo(110...
متن کاملAtomic-Scale Spin-Polarized Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy: a Review
Atomic-scale spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy is a powerful real-space technique for investigating the magnetic structure of surfaces. With its intrinsic lateral resolution capability, this technique can achieve atomic-scale resolved spin resolution of surfaces. Antiferromagnets, in particular, offer opportunities to test the spatial resolution of magnetism at ultimate length scales...
متن کاملNon-collinear magnetic order in nanostructures investigated by spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy*
The successful conjunction of the ultimate spatial resolution capability of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) with the sensitivity to the spin of the tunneling electrons has opened the door to investigations of magnetism at the nanoscale where the fundamental interactions responsible for magnetic order can be studied. Spin-polarized (SP) STM allows insight into a fascinating world with su...
متن کاملBias-Voltage Dependence in Atomic-Scale Spin Polarized Scanning Tunneling Microscopy of Mn3N2 (010)
Atomic-scale spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy results on the manganese nitride Mn3N2 (010) surface are presented. The images show the row-wise antiferromagnetic structure of the surface. It is shown that the bias voltage between tip and sample affects both the magnetic and non-magnetic components of the height profile. In particular, a reversal of the magnetic contrast is shown to o...
