NMR Spectroscopy for Thin Films by Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy

NMR Spectroscopy for Thin Films by Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a fundamental research tool that is widely used in many fields. Despite its powerful applications, unfortunately the low sensitivity of conventional NMR makes it difficult to study thin film or nano-sized samples. In this work, we report the first NMR spectrum obtained from general thin films by using magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM). To minimize th...

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...

Ferromagnetic resonance imaging of Co films using magnetic resonance force microscopy

Lateral one-dimensional imaging of cobalt ~Co! films by means of microscopic ferromagnetic resonance ~FMR! detected using the magnetic resonance force microscope ~MRFM! is demonstrated. A novel approach involving scanning a localized magnetic probe is shown to enable FMR imaging in spite of the broad resonance linewidth. We introduce a spatially selective local field by means of a small, magnet...
