Zusammenfassung:We discuss the principles of magnetic force microscopy and present a method of using a relatively inexpensive instructional atomic force microscope in intermediate-level course work. We present calculations and images that give a qualitative feel for the crossover between different dominant forces due to varying ranges of interaction in force microscopy and fundamental physics.
