The versatility of a room-temperature scanning Hall probe microscope system with an integrated minicoil capable of generating pulsed magnetic fields up to 2.9 T was demonstrated by imaging magnetic structures on the surface of 1.4-MB floppy disks and demagnetized strontium ferrite permanent magnets. Vibration isolation between the sample and minicoil was achieved by using a combination of quartz glass plates and silicone gel layers and enabled extremely fast measurements under fields as high as 2.9 T, without detrimental effects on a GaAs-AlGaAs micro-Hall probe sensor located at a height of 0.5 mum above-the sample surface.

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.

A room temperature scanning Hall probe microscope system utilizing GaAs/AlGaAs and bismuth micro-Hall probes was used for magnetic imaging of ferromagnetic domain structures on the surfaces of crystalline thin film garnets and permanent magnets. The Bi micro-Hall probes had dimensions ranging between 0.25 and 2.8 mum(2) and were fabricated using a combination of optical lithography and focused ion beam milling. The use of bismuth was found to overcome surface depletion effects associated with semiconducting...

An ultra-high sensitive room temperature scanning Hall probe microscope (RT-SHPM) system incorporating a GaAs/AlGaAs micro-Hall probe was used for the direct magnetic imaging of localized magnetic field fluctuations in very close proximity to the surface of ferromagnetic materials. The active area, Hall coefficient and field sensitivity of the Hall probe were 0.8 mum x 0.8 mum, 0.3 Omega /G and 0.04G/root Hz, respectively. The use of a semiconducting Hall probe sensor enabled measurements in the presence of...

Graphene micro-Hall probes were developed for a scanning Hall probe microscope system and used for the direct magnetic imaging domains of demagnetized NdFeB permanent magnet for the first time. The Hall coefficient and minimum magnetic field resolution of graphene Hall probes at 1 kHz were found to be 0.18 Omega/G and 0.20 G/root Hz for a drive current of 3 mu A at room temperature in vacuum. The magnetic domains in NdFeB demagnetized magnet were observed at 300K, 126K and 3K successfully.
