Abstract

We have developed a novel Magnetic Force Microscope (MFM) utilizing a vertically cantilevered microprobe tip. This new geometry provides maximum sensitivity while inhibiting uncontrolled vertical deflections. We demonstrate the capability of our MFM by imaging domain structure in pre-recorded magnetic tape and domain walls in single-crystal iron whiskers. Good agreement is obtained between the observed magnetic contrast and predictions of a micromagnetic model.
