Heterostructure GaAs/AlGaAs and bismuth (Bi) micro-Hall probes were integrated into a room temperature scanning Hall probe microscope system (RT-SHPM) for imaging localized magnetic fluctuations at the surfaces of floppy disks, crystalline garnet thin films, and strontium ferrite permanent magnets. At a drive current of 800 μA the sensitivity of the Bi micro-probes was 0.38 G/√ Hz and comparable with the GaAs/AlGaAs probes. Bi nano-Hall probes with an active region of 200 nm × 200 nm were fabricated by focused ion beam milling and successfully used for magnetic imaging of ferromagnetic domains structures. Bismuth was found to be a practical alternative to semiconductors for fabricating ultra-high resolution nanometer scale Hall probes.

Direct magnetic imaging of ferromagnetic domain structures by room temperature scanning hall probe microscopy using a bismuth micro-hall probe SANDHU, ADARSH; MASUDA, HİROSHİ; Oral, Ahmet; BENDİNG, SİMON J (IOP Publishing, 2001-05-15) A bismuth micro-Hall probe sensor with an integrated scanning tunnelling microscope tip was incorporated into a room temperature scanning Hall probe microscope system and successfully used for the direct magnetic imaging of microscopic domains of low coercivity perpendicular garnet thin films and demagnetized strontium ferrite permanent magnets. At a driving current of 800 muA, the Hall coefficient, magnetic field sensitivity and spatial resolution of the Bi probe were 3.3 x 10(-4) Omega /G, 0.38 G/root Hz ...
Room temperature scanning Hall probe microscopy of localized magnetic field fluctuations on the surfaces of magnetic recording media, permanent magnets and crystalline garnet films in external bias fields Sandhu, A; Iida, N; Masuda, H; Oral, Ahmet; Bending, SJ (2002-04-01) A sub-micron room temperature scanning Hall probe microscope (RT-SHPM) was used for real-time imaging of surface magnetic domains of floppy disks, Sr ferrite magnets and Bi-substituted iron garnets placed in large external bias fields. Domain wall nucleation was observed in the garnets where bubble lattices expanded, collapsed and transformed into stripe domains in cyclic bias fields. Evolution of RT-SHPM images was compared with conventional vibrating sample magnetometer measurements.
Direct and real-time observation of sub-micron domain dynamics in magnetically biased strontium ferrite permanent magnets by room temperature scanning micro-Hall probe microscopy Sandhu, Adarsh; Iida, Naoji; Masuda, Hiroshi; Oral, Ahmet; Bending, Simon J. (2001-01-01) A room temperature scanning micro-Hall probe microscope (RT-SHPM) was used for imaging stray magnetic field fluctuations at the surfaces of strontium ferrite permanent magnets (SFM) in the presence of external bias fields. The RT-SHPM enables the extremely fast, non-invasive, and quantitative measurement of localized surface magnetic fields on the sub-micron-scale. A 0.8 × 0.8 μm2 GaAs/AlGaAs micro-Hall probe (300K Hall coefficient = 0.3Ω/G; field sensitivity = 0.04 G/√Hz) with an integrated STM tip for pre...

Magnetic Resonance - Electrical Impedance Tomography (MR-EIT) Research at METU Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (2006-09-01) Following development of magnetic resonance current density imaging (MRCDI), magnetic resonance - electrical impedance tomography (MR-EIT) has emerged as a promising approach to produce high resolution conductivity images. Electric current applied to a conductor results in a potential field and a magnetic flux density distribution. Using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, the magnetic flux density distribution can be reconstructed as in MRCDI. The flux density is related to the current density distr...
