Controlled Manipulation of Individual Vortices in a Superconductor
E. W. J. Straver, J. E. Hoffman, O. M. Auslaender +2
We report controlled local manipulation of single vortices by low temperature magnetic force microscope (MFM) in a thin film of superconducting Nb. We are able to position the vort…
Mechanics of Individual, Isolated Vortices in a Cuprate Superconductor
Ophir M. Auslaender, Lan Luan, Eric W. J. Straver +7
Superconductors often contain quantized microscopic whirlpools of electrons, called vortices, that can be modeled as one-dimensional elastic objects. Vortices are a diverse playgro…
Metal-coated carbon nanotube tips for Magnetic Force Microscopy
Zhifeng Deng, Erhan Yenilmez, Josh Leu +4
We fabricated cantilevers for magnetic force microscopy with carbon nanotube tips coated with magnetic material. Images of a custom hard drive demonstrated 20 nm lateral resolution…
