Single Spin Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy

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 (...

Single-Crystal Diamond Nanowire Tips for Ultrasensitive Force Microscopy.

We report the fabrication, integration, and assessment of sharp diamond tips for ultrasensitive force microscopy experiments. Two types of tips, corresponding to the upper and lower halves of a diamond nanowire, were fabricated by top-down plasma etching from a single-crystalline substrate. The lower, surface-attached halves can be directly integrated into lithographically defined nanostructure...

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 ...

Misorientations in †001‡ magnetite thin films studied by electron backscatter diffraction and magnetic force microscopy

Magnetite thin films grown on 001 oriented MgO substrates are analyzed by means of electron backscatter diffraction EBSD analysis and magnetic force microscopy in applied fields. The EBSD technique enables the crystallographic orientation of individual grains to be determined with a high spatial resolution up to 20 nm on such ceramic samples. A high image quality of the recorded Kikuchi pattern...
