“…They provide local information about length scales, inhomogeneity, and interactions that is inaccessible in bulk measurements of transport, magnetization, susceptibility, or heat capacity. Prominent among these techniques, for their combination of high sensitivity and high spatial resolution, are scanning probe microscopies such as magnetic force microscopy, scanning nitrogenvacancy center microscopy, and scanning superconducting quantum interference (SQUID) device microscopy [1]. Exploiting its intrinsic sensitivity to magnetic flux and its minimal interaction with the sample, researchers have used scanning SQUID microscopy to image a wide variety of nanometer-scale phenomena, including superconducting vortices [2][3][4][5], persistent currents in normal metal rings [6], magnetism and superconductivity at oxide interfaces [7,8], and magnetic reversal in nanomagnets [9,10].…”
