Room Temperature Scanning Hall Probe Microscope (RT-SHPM) is a scanning microscope, which enables quantitative measurements of the magnetic field with a nanometer resolution.\nRT-SHPM works in the following operation modes: STM, SHPM, QTF AFM.\nMaximum scan size of the microscope is 52 x 52 μm\nIn the SHPM mode, a nano-Hall probe is used for scanning of the sample surface in order to measure the perpendicular component of the surface magnetic field, which directly gives the spatial distribution of the local magnetic induction. In that mode, a conventional STM positioning technique is used for positioning of the probe. Therefore, the sample itself have to be electrically conductive or it should be coated with a thin layer of gold. \nThe SHPM can also image magnetic induction in presence of magnetic fields applied with the use of the built-in coil.\nThe microscope can be used for imaging the domain structure of ferromagnetic materials or for detecting the presence of ferromagnetic precipitates in a non-ferromagnetic matrix.

Access rules
Measurements are performed only by properly trained personnel of the Institute of Materials Science and Nanotechnology. If you want to undergo training, please report to the people responsible for the equipment in order to undergo it. Testing samples for people from outside the Institute only requires a declaration of co-authorship of the person performing the measurements and analysis in future publications. It is also possible to collaborate in joint research projects as well as to perform research commissioned by business entities.
