dc.description.abstract | In this thesis the surface of single crystals and thin films of magnetite
(001) and (110) have been studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM),
scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES)
and low-energy electron diffraction (LEED). The use of STM tips made of
magnetic materials is highlighted in this work. A novel technique has been developed
by the author in order to provide STM tips made of paramagnetic,
ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic materials. Special emphasis has been
placed on the study and characterization of tips made of antiferromagnetic
MnNi alloy. Chemical and magnetic characterization has been performed
by AES, X-ray diffraction (XRD), alternating gradient force magnetometer
(AGEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Scanning electron
microscope (SEM) has also been employed for characterization of the tips.
The potential of the MnNi tips for SP-STM measurements has been confirmed
by STS/STM studies of Mn/Fe(001), a test sample whose magnetic
properties are well known. These tips are routinely used by the group for
SP-STM experiments on magnetite. | |
