Spin-polarized Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy of Ultrathin Films
Using low temperature spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy we have studied the morphology and magnetic properties of ultrathin Fe(0.5 ML)Au(0.5 ML) nanowires prepared on a Mo(110) single crystal. The Fe nanostripes grown by step flow on a Mo(110) at 700 K were covered by Au at RT, and subsequently annealed at 700 K. Differences in the morphology of Au on Fe(110)/Mo(110) and clean Mo(110...
متن کاملInsulators at the ultrathin limit: electronic structure studied by scanning tunnelling microscopy and scanning tunnelling spectroscopy
Considerable progress has been made recently, using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), scanning tunnelling spectroscopy (STS) and local density functional theory (DFT), in examining the atomic structure and electronic properties of ultrathin insulating films. This article reviews pertinent results to date with special emphasis on ultrathin MgO films on Ag(001) surfaces. Using STS, the layer-...
متن کامل4 Spin-polarized Scanning Tunneling Microscopy
We give an introduction to spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy (SpSTM), a magnetic imaging technique with nanometer lateral resolution. Sp-STM allows to record constant current images which represent the electron density near the sample surface and simultaneously the spin polarization of the electron density which is related to the magnetic moment. It is shown how magnetic and topograp...

متن کاملSpin-polarized Scanning Electron Microscopy for Analysis of Magnetic Devices
Spin-polarized scanning electron microscopy (spin SEM) is a method, which measures spin polarizations of secondary electrons, for observing magnetic domains. The main characteristics of spin SEM images are high spatial resolution, topography independency, and the capability of magnetization vector analysis in three dimensions. Taking advantages of these characteristics, spin SEM is expected to ...
