Magnetic Force Scanning Tunneling Microscope Imaging of Overwritten Data

The magnetic force scanning tunneling microscopy is briefly discussed and demonstrated to successfully image overwritten data on commercial rigid magnetic disks. In particular, clear images of unerased remnants of the previously stored data are presented. These unerased data are attributed to slight radial deviations in write head tracking due to the intrinsic limitations in the electromechanic...

Theory of the scanning tunneling microscope.

We present a theory for tunneling between a real surface and a model probe tip, applicable to the recently developed "scanning tunneling microscope." The tunneling current is found to be proportional to the local density of states of the surface, at the position of the tip. The effective lateral resolution is related to the tip radius R and the vacuum gap distance d approximately as [(2 A)(R +d...
