Quantitative measurement of the magnetic exchange interaction across a vacuum gap

Abstract:
We demonstrate that magnetic exchange force spectroscopy allows for a quantitative determination of the distance-dependent magnetic exchange interaction across a vacuum gap. Experiments were performed on the antiferromagnetic Fe monolayer on W(001) with magnetically sensitive tips and compared to first-principles calculations performed for different cluster tip models. For stable tips, which can be distinguished from unstable tips by analyzing the dissipation signal, very good agreement with theory is observed.
