A new atomic force microscopy (AFM) method for detecting magnetic nanomaterials with much higher spatial resolution and sensitivity is presented [1]. It is referred to as magnetic sample modulation (MSM), since an AC magnetic field excites mechanical oscillations of magnetic nanomaterials on surfaces during imaging. The AFM operates in contact mode using a nonmagnetic tip. Frequency and amplitude of the mechanical response of the sample are detected by changes in tip deflection. Thus, the AFM tip serves as a force and motion sensor for mapping the response of magnetic nanomaterials. The investigations are facilitated by nanofabrication methods combining particle lithography with organic vapor deposition and electroless deposition of iron oxide, to prepare designed test platforms of magnetic materials at nanometer length scales. Examples of detecting magnetic nanoparticles and magnetic biospecies at single molecular level will be presented.
