Magnetic force scanning tunneling microscope imaging of overwritten data

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...

Simulating Scanning Tunneling Microscope

Spin-stand imaging of overwritten data and its comparison with magnetic force microscopy

A new technique of magnetic imaging on a spin-stand @Mayergoyz et al., J. Appl. Phys. 87, 6824 ~2000!# is further developed and extensively tested. The results of successful imaging of digital patterns overwritten with misregistration ranging from 0.3 to 0.07 mm are reported. The results are compared with magnetic force microscopy ~MFM! images and the conclusion is reached that the spin-stand i...

Imaging scanning tunneling microscope-induced electroluminescence in plasmonic corrals

An approach to image localized and propagating surface plasmon ~SP! modes is introduced. It is shown that scanning tunneling microscope ~STM!-electroluminescence, the radiative decay of SPs induced by inelastically tunneling electrons, observed in Fourier space yields distinct features that reflect the degree of delocalization and spatial distribution of SP modes. The propagating SP is isolated...
