Chapter 13 Magnetic Force (MFM)
Imaging
This chapter describes how to perform Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) using the Interleave
and LiftMode procedures discussed in
. Please review those sections prior to attempting
MFM. Best results will be obtained with either the Digital Instruments Veeco Basic Extender
Module or the Quadrex Extender Module. These hardware units allows phase detection and
frequency modulation for optimal MFM imaging.
