Item Open Access Bismuth nano-Hall probes fabricated by focused ion beam milling for direct magnetic imaging by room temperature scanning Hall probe microscopy(The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2001) Sandhu, A.; Masuda, H.; Kurosawa, K.; Oral, A.; Bending, S. J.Bismuth nano-Hall probes fabricated by using focused ion beam (FIB) milling were studied. The nano-Hall probes were used for direct magnetic imaging of domain structures in low coercivity garnets and demagnetized strontium ferrite permanent magnets. The analysis was performed using room temperature scanning Hall probe microscopy and it was found that the Bi nano-probes could overcome limitations due to surface depletion and large series resistances.Item Open Access High sensitivity and multifunctional micro-Hall sensors fabricated using InAlSb/InAsSb/InAlSb heterostructures(2009) Bando, M.; Ohashi, T.; Dede, M.; Akram, R.; Oral, A.; Park, S.Y.; Shibasaki I.; Handa H.; Sandhu, A.Further diversification of Hall sensor technology requires development of materials with high electron mobility and an ultrathin conducting layer very close to the material's surface. Here, we describe the magnetoresistive properties of micro-Hall devices fabricated using InAlSb/InAsSb/InAlSb heterostructures where electrical conduction was confined to a 30 nm-InAsSb two-dimensional electron gas layer. The 300 K electron mobility and sheet carrier concentration were 36 500 cm2 V-1 s-1 and 2.5× 1011 cm-2, respectively. The maximum current-related sensitivity was 2 750 V A-1 T-1, which was about an order of magnitude greater than AlGaAs/InGaAs pseudomorphic heterostructures devices. Photolithography was used to fabricate 1 μm×1 μm Hall probes, which were installed into a scanning Hall probe microscope and used to image the surface of a hard disk. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.Item Open Access Variable temperature Scanning Hall Probe Microscopy (SHPM) using quartz crystal AFM feedback(IEEE, 2006) Dede, Münir; Ürkmen, Koray; Oral, Ahmet; Farrer, I.; Ritchie, D. A.Scanning Hall Probe Microscopy (SHPM) is a quantitative and non-invasive technique for imaging localized surface magnetic field fluctuations such as ferromagnetic domains. In this work, we have eliminated the difficulty in the cantilever-Hall probe integration process, just by gluing a Hall Probe chip to a quartz crystal tuning fork force sensor. The resultant SHPM can operate in variable temperature environment, 77-300 K.
