Individually grown cobalt nanowires as magnetic force microscopy probes

Magnetic force microscopy using fabricated cobalt-coated carbon nanotubes probes

Magnetic force microscope ( MFM ) is a powerful technique for mapping the magnetic force gradient above the sample surface. Herein, single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) were used to fabricate MFM probe by dielectrophoresis method which is a reproducible and cost-effective technique. The effect of induced voltage on the deposition manner of carbon nanotubes (CNT) on the atomic force microscope (...

Magnetic vortex observation in FeCo nanowires by quantitative magnetic force microscopy

Magnetic force microscopy

The remarkable outbreak of nanotechnologies and among these of nanobiotechnologies has been allowed by the invention, development, continuous improvement of different techniques and instrumentations for the imaging of materials and systems at the nanoscale. Among such techniques, atomic force microscopy (AFM) represents a well established technique for the imaging of a wide range of samples as ...

Force microscopy with light-atom probes.

The charge distribution in atoms with closed electron shells is spherically symmetric, whereas atoms with partially filled shells can form covalent bonds with pointed lobes of increased charge density. Covalent bonding in the bulk can also affect surface atoms, leading to four tiny humps spaced by less than 100 picometers in the charge density of adatoms on a (001) tungsten surface. We imaged t...
