Hall-effect devices make up by far the largest part of all magnetic sensors on the market today. The main reason is compatibility of Hall devices with modern semiconductor technology. In particular, integrated Hall sensor micro-systems fabricated in low-co ...
Antidot lattices fabricated from permalloy thin films have been investigated by all-electrical spin-wave spectroscopy and Brillouin light scattering. Periodic arrays of 120-nm-diameter nanoholes have been prepared using focused ion beam etching. The period ...
We report on the synthesis, characterization and application of a novel nanocomposite made of a negative tone epoxy based photoresist modified with organic-capped Fe2O3 nanocrystals (NCs). The mechanical properties of the nanocomposite drastically improve ...
Piezoresistive cantilevers have been extensively used for many years as force sensors, mass detectors, image scanning tools, and as biosensors, which have absorbate layers generating surface stress upon reaction with analyte. We will introduce different pi ...
We report the first use of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) optical fiber-made probes for scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). The sharp tips were prepared by chemical etching of the fibers in ethyl acetate, and the probes were prepared by proper gl ...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most powerful diagnostic techniques used in clinics. The need for higher spatial resoln. and better sensitivity led to the development of imagers working at high magnetic fields. The routine clin. use of 3 T M ...
We investigated the performance of Hall sensors with different Co-C ratios, deposited directly in nanostructured form, using Co-2(CO)(8) gas molecules, by focused-electron or ion-beam-induced deposition. Due to the enhanced intergrain scattering in these g ...
The combination of the topographic resolution of Scanning Probe Microscopy with the subwavelength information of light/matter interaction leads to a new instrument called Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM). This new instrument is an ideal tool t ...
We present a microscopic investigation of nanocomposite films of iron oxide (γ-Fe2O3) magnetic nanowires (NWs) aligned into polymers, formed upon evapn. of solns. of acrylate polymer/magnetic nanoparticles under magnetic field (MF). The field causes the as ...
We demonstrate the nonresonant magnetic interaction at optical frequencies between a photonic crystal microcavity and a metallized near-field microscopy probe. This interaction can be used to map and control the magnetic component of the microcavity modes. ...
