A way to increase the Scanning Thermal Microscope (SThM) sensitivity in the harmonic 3w mode is to heat the probe with an AC current sufficiently high to generate a coupling between the AC and the DC signals. We detail in this paper how to properly take into account this coupling with a Wollaston-probe SThM. We also show how to link correctly the thermal conductivity to the thermal conductance measured by the SThM.

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.
Sigma-phase intermetallic compound of Fe54Cr46 was investigated using DC and AC magnetic susceptibility techniques. A clear-cut evidence was found that the sample orders magnetically at Tc=23.5 K and its ground magnetic state is constituted by a spin
glass. The temperature at which the zero-field cooled magnetization has its maximum decreases with an external magnetic field in line with the Gabay-Toulouse prediction. The temperature at which the AC magnetic susceptibility has its maximum does not depend on frequency which, in the light of the mean-field theory, testifies to very long magnetic interactions.
Below its Neel temperature, the frustrated magnet CdCr$_2$O$_4$ exhibits an antiferromagnetic spin-spiral ground state. Such states can give rise to a sizable magnetoelectric coupling. In this report, we measure the electric polarization induced in s
ingle-crystalline CdCr$_2$O$_4$ by a large applied magnetic field. Because the detection of a macroscopic polarization is hindered by the structural domains in the tetragonal spin-spiral phase, we have pioneered an alternative method of measuring polarization induced by high magnetic fields, using electrostatic force microscopy. This method enables us to measure polarization from nanometer sized areas of the sample surface, as well as imaging how to charge inhomogeneities change with magnetic field.
The dynamical fluorescent microthermal imaging (FMI) experiment has been used to investigate the phonon-magnon interaction in the 1D Heisenberg antiferromagnet La5Ca9Cu24O41. This material shows highly anisotropic heat conductivity due to the efficie
nt magnetic heat transport along the spin ladders in the compound. To extract information on the phonon-magnon interaction we modelled the dynamic heat transport experiment using a two temperature model approach, taking both the crystal as well as the PMMA/EuTTA fluorescent heat imaging layer into account. The simulations are carried out by the finite element method using COMSOL Multiphysics Heat Transfer Module. The results of the numerical calculations are expected to be used for the data analysis of the experimental studies.
Light emission spectrum from a scanning tunnelling microscope (LESTM) is investigated as a function of relative humidity and shown to be a novel and sensitive means for probing the growth and properties of a water meniscus in the nm-scale. An empiric
al model of the light emission process is formulated and applied successfully to replicate the decay in light intensity and spectral changes observed with increasing relative humidity. The modelling indicates a progressive water filling of the tip-sample junction with increasing humidity or, more pertinently, of the volume of the localized surface plasmons responsible for light emission; it also accounts for the effect of asymmetry in structuring of the water molecules with respect to polarity of the applied bias. This is juxtaposed with the case of a non-polar liquid in the tip-sample nano cavity where no polarity dependence of the light emission is observed. In contrast to the discrete detection of the presence/absence of water bridge in other scanning probe experiments by measurement of the feedback parameter for instrument control LESTM offers a means of continuously monitoring the development of the water bridge with sub-nm sensitivity. The results are relevant to applications such as dip-pen nanolithography and electrochemical scanning probe microscopy.
