Spatial resolution and switching field of magnetic force microscope tip coated with FePd-alloy thin film

Magnetic force microscope (MFM) tips are prepared by coating Si tips of 4 nm radius with L10 ordered FePd-alloy films varying the thickness in a range between 10 and 80 nm. The effects of coating thickness on spatial resolution and switching field of MFM tip are investigated. As the thickness increa...
