We present a novel ultrahigh stability sensor for quantitative magnetic force microscopy (MFM) based on an iron filled carbon nanotube. In contrast to the complex structure of conventional MFM probes, this constitutes nanomagnet with defined properties. The long nanowire can be regarded as extended dipole which only monopole close sample surface is involved in imaging process. demonstrate its potential high resolution imaging.

Iron-filled carbon nanotubes (Fe-CNTs) were used to prepare probes for magnetic force microscopy (MFM) by attaching them the tips of conventional atomic cantilevers. An optimized chemical vapor deposition process, employing a two stage furnace and ferrocene as precursor, supplied homogeneously filled Fe-CNTs required MFM probes. These can be regarded cylindrically shaped single-domain nanomagnets that are protected from oxidation shell. Carbon known possess both great mechanical stability...
Single crystal iron carbide nanowires contained in multiwalled carbon nanotubes have been prepared by aerosol-based thermal chemical vapor deposition.
