摘要
The ability to position a sharp probe in close proximity to a sample while the surface is illuminated by synchrotron x-rays opens a path to localized spectroscopy and imaging with chemical and magnetic contrast. We have employed a scanning tunneling microscope for the local study of synchrotron x-ray magnetic circular dichroism of micron-sized NiFe rings. Spectra have been obtained by an insulator-coated tip positioned about 200 nm over the sample surface. A negative sample bias is required in order to enhance the dichroism signal at the tip.
