摘要：

A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) for surface magnetic force measurements on thin-film longitudinal magnetic storage media has been adapted. The usual rigid PtIr tip of the STM was replaced by a flexible Fe film tip. Images of a hard disk showing bit tracks written by a ferrite head in a computer disk drive are presented. The images shown are comparable to images of the bit tracks on textured surfaces using either ferrofluid decoration or other magnetic force microscopy (MFM) imaging techniques. The sensitivity of the Fe film tip was such that the influence on the image due to magnetic forces was larger than the influence due to sample surface topography.
