摘要
The design of an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) magnetic force microscope (MFM) is described. The instrument was applied to investigate the magnetic structure of 10-80 nm thick Fe(1 0 0) films grown in situ in UHV on Ag(1 0 0) thin film substrates. The domain structure: consists mainly of 90 degrees domain walls while only a minority of 180 degrees walls was found, The wall profiles are found to be of Neel type for 10 nm films and of asymmetric Bloch type for 80 nm films.
