Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM)

Exploring the world of nanomagnetism in real space

We use magnetic force microscopy to investigate magnetic phenomena on the micro- and nanometer scale. Our research focuses on fundamental aspects in the fields of surface and interface magnetism as well as applications to new magnetic data storage devices. Currently, our most challenging scientific aim is the combination of MFM with the atomic resolution capability of atomic force microscopy (AFM) to perform exchange force microscopy, i.e., the detection of the exchange force between spins of individual surface atoms and a magetic atom at the tip end.
