Tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) in a vertical manganite junction was investigated by low-temperature scanning laser microscopy (LTSLM) allowing to determine the local relative magnetization M orientation of the two electrodes as a function of magnitude and orientation of the external magnetic field H. Sweeping the field amplitude at fixed orientation revealed magnetic domain nucleation and propagation in the junction electrodes. For the high-resistance state an almost single-domain antiparallel magnetization configuration was achieved, while in the low-resistance state the junction remained in a multidomain state. Calculated resistance $R_mathrm{calc}(H)$ based on the local M configuration obtained by LTSLM is in quantitative agreement with R(H) measured by magnetotransport.

Exotic quantum phenomena have been demonstrated in recently discovered intrinsic magnetic topological insulator MnBi2Te4. At its two-dimensional limit, quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect and axion insulator state are observed in odd and even layers
of MnBi2Te4, respectively. The measured band structures exhibit intriguing and complex properties. Here we employ low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy to study its surface states and magnetic response. The quasiparticle interference patterns indicate that the electronic structures on the topmost layer of MnBi2Te4 is different from that of the expected out-of-plane A-type antiferromagnetic phase. The topological surface states may be embedded in deeper layers beneath the topmost surface. Such novel electronic structure presumably related to the modification of crystalline structure during sample cleaving and re-orientation of magnetic moment of Mn atoms near the surface. Mn dopants substituted at the Bi site on the second atomic layer are observed. The ratio of Mn/Bi substitutions is 5%. The electronic structures are fluctuating at atomic scale on the surface, which can affect the magnetism of MnBi2Te4. Our findings shed new lights on the magnetic property of MnBi2Te4 and thus the design of magnetic topological insulators.
A simple, reliable method for preparation of bulk Cr tips for Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) is proposed and its potentialities in performing high-quality and high-resolution STM and Spin Polarized-STM (SP-STM) are investigated. Cr tips show ato
mic resolution on ordered surfaces. Contrary to what happens with conventional W tips, rest atoms of the Si(111)-7x7 reconstruction can be routinely observed, probably due to a different electronic structure of the tip apex. SP-STM measurements of the Cr(001) surface showing magnetic contrast are reported. Our results reveal that the peculiar properties of these tips can be suited in a number of STM experimental situations.
Epitaxial graphene grown on transition metal surfaces typically exhibits a moire pattern due to the lattice mismatch between graphene and the underlying metal surface. We use both scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM)
experiments to probe the electronic and topographic contrast of the graphene moire on the Ir(111) surface. While STM topography is influenced by the local density of states close to the Fermi energy and the local tunneling barrier height, AFM is capable of yielding the true surface topography once the background force arising from the van der Waals (vdW) interaction between the tip and the substrate is taken into account. We observe a moire corrugation of 35$pm$10 pm, where the graphene-Ir(111) distance is the smallest in the areas where the graphene honeycomb is atop the underlying iridium atoms and larger on the fcc or hcp threefold hollow sites.
As emerging topological nodal-line semimetals, the family of ZrSiX (X = O, S, Se, Te) has attracted broad interests in condensed matter physics due to their future applications in spintonics. Here, we apply a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to st
udy the structural symmetry and electronic topology of ZrSiSe. The glide mirror symmetry is verified by quantifying the lattice structure of the ZrSe bilayer based on bias selective topographies. The quasiparticle interference analysis is used to identify the band structure of ZrSiSe. The nodal line is experimentally determined at $sim$ 250 meV above the Fermi level. An extra surface state Dirac point at $sim$ 400 meV below the Fermi level is also determined. Our STM measurement provides a direct experimental evidence of the nodal-line state in the family of ZrSiX.
We report on how different cluster deposition regimes can be obtained and observed by in situ Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) by exploiting deposition parameters in a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) process. Tungsten clusters were produced by nanos
econd Pulsed Laser Ablation in Ar atmosphere at different pressures and deposited on Au(111) and HOPG surfaces. Deposition regimes including cluster deposition-diffusion-aggregation (DDA), cluster melting and coalescence and cluster implantation were observed, depending on background gas pressure and target-to-substrate distance which influence the kinetic energy of the ablated species. These parameters can thus be easily employed for surface modification by cluster bombardment, deposition of supported clusters and growth of films with different morphologies. The variation in cluster mobility on different substrates and its influence on aggregation and growth mechanisms has also been investigated.
