Abstract

The magnetic force microscope (MFM) has the potential of enabling observations of fine magnetic domain structures, but remaining problems must be resolved before practical application is possible. As a result of theoretical analysis, the most suitable values of the probe-sample distance h and probe radius R were found to be h = 600 Å and R = 100 Å. Using these values, an MFM cantilever of length 130 μm, width 10 μm and thickness 1 μm was designed. A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) was used to detect the cantilever displacement resulting from the magnetic force. A new domain configuration was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) by bringing a sharp Fe wire tip close to a sample and observing the influence of the leakage field of the tip.
