Abstract:PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to introduce a method which allows the calculation of the interactions of tip and sample of a magnetic force microscope as a first step to increase the accuracy of this technique.Design/methodology/approachThe emerging magnetic interactions between the cantilever tip and an arbitrary magnetized sample can be evaluated by the use of several numerical methods. For modelling this magnetically and mechanically coupled multiscale problem the finite element method is implemented.F… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
