Abstract

The magnetic force microscope is a powerful tool for recording media studies. However, identifying magnetic contribution is still an issue in high resolution studies. By employing 'magnetically silent' regions between the bit transition zones as reference points for height control through quantitative force - distance curve fitting, we have achieved this by successfully performing non-contact dynamical magnetic force microscopy with ex situ tip magnetization reversal.
