Switching fields of high-resolution magnetic force microscope tips coated with Co, Co75Pt10Cr15, Co75Pt25, and Co50Pt50 films

Magnetic force microscope (MFM) tips are prepared by coating Si tips of 4 nm radius with Co, Co75Pt10Cr15, Co75Pt25, and Co50Pt50 (at. %) films of 20 nm thickness at 300 °C. The effects of coating film material on the spatial resolution and the switching field are investigated. Higher resolutions a...
