Abstract:
A magnetic field measuring device including: a vibrational probe unit having a probe that includes one or more material(s) whose intensity of magnetization is proportionate to an external magnetic field, a mechanical vibration source for the probe; a vibration detector detecting a vibration frequency and amplitude of the probe; an alternating-current magnetic field generator applying to the probe an alternating-current magnetic field; a direct-current external magnetic field generator applying a direct-current external magnetic field to the probe; a frequency modulation detector detecting frequency modulation occurring to the mechanical vibration of the probe; a direct-current external magnetic field controller adjusting the intensity of the direct-current external magnetic field applied to the probe; and a direct-current magnetic field determination unit determining a value of the direct-current magnetic field originating from a specimen.
Abstract:
A magnetic profile measuring device which scans on a surface of a specimen by a magnetized probe on a tip of a driven cantilever, detects vibration of the cantilever, and generates a magnetic field distribution image of the area, the device including: the cantilever having the probe equipped on tip thereof; a driver driving the cantilever; an alternating-current magnetic field generator periodically reversing the magnetic polarity of the probe; a vibration sensor detecting vibration of the probe; a demodulator demodulating from a detection signal of the vibration sensor a magnetic signal corresponding to an alternating magnetic force between the probe and the specimen; a scanning mechanism; a data storage storing an initial data for each coordinate of the scanning area; a modified data generator generating a plurality of data by modifying the phase of the initial data; and an image display device.
