 Two

current generators and a preamplifier were attached to a commercially available AFM system that uses optical deflection for the detection of cantilever displacement Current generator I was used to apply a constant current to the MR sensor current generator II was used to apply current to the meander-patterned wire

 The

design dimensions of the MR cantilever are 200 mm long, 50 mm wide, and 1 mm thick. The apex of the MR cantilever was used as an AFM probe to obtain topographic images of the sample surfaces. The MR cantilever was tilted at 130 with respect to the sample surface

 Magnetic

fields were induced by a DC current flow in thin film wires and were observed using the system. Current flows in the opposite direction to the neighbouring lines, the period of the magnetic field distribution induced from the wire can be expected to be twice as long as that of the topography

 The

SV sensor was used to measure the magnetic field strength at a constant height of 1 mm from the sample surface The current flow was parallel to the Y-axis and the scan direction was perpendicular to the current flow The magnetic field distribution can be calculated using BiotSavarts law
