Scanning hall probe microscopy technique for investigation of magnetic properties

Scanning Hall Probe Microscopy (SHPM) is a scanning probe microscopy technique developed to observe and image magnetic fields locally. This method is based on application of the Hall Effect, supplied by a micro hall probe attached to the end of cantilever as a sensor.  SHPM provides direct quantitative information on the magnetic state of a material and can also image magnetic induction under a...

15. Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy

Electron scattering in scanning probe microscopy experiments

It has been shown that electron transitions, as measured in a scanning tunnelling microscope, are related to chemical interactions in a tunnelling barrier. Here, we show that the shape and apparent height of subatomic features in both, measurements of the attractive forces in an atomic force microscope, and measurements of the tunneling current between the Si(111) surface and an oscillating can...

Scanning transmission low-energy electron microscopy

We discuss an extension to the transmission mode of the cathode-lens-equipped scanning electron microscope, enabling operation down to the lowest energies of electrons. Penetration of electrons through free-standing ultrathin films is examined along the full energy scale, and the contribution of the secondary electrons (SEs), released near the bottom surface of the sample, is shown, enhancing t...
