Abstract

Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) offers a unique insight into the nanoscopic scale domain structures of magnetic materials. However, MFM is generally regarded as a qualitative technique and, therefore, requires meticulous calibration of the magnetic scanning probe stray field (Bprobe) for quantitative measurements. We present a straightforward calibration of Bprobe using scanning gate microscopy on epitaxial graphene Hall sensor in conjunction with Kelvin probe force microscopy feedback loop to eliminate sample-probe parasitic electric field interactions. Using this technique, we determined Bprobe ~70 mT and ~76 mT for probes with magnetic moment ~1×10-13 and >3×10-13 emu, respectively, at a probe-sample distance of 20 nm.
