RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
New Asylum Research Accessory Enables Advanced Magnetics Research Under
Both In-Plane and Out-of-Plane Applied Magnetic Fields
ing scanning x-ray transmission microscopy (SXTM)," said
Dr. Maarten Rutgers, director of new product introduction. "No
other AFM commercial solution offers the same capabilities,
versatility, and ease of use for magnetics research. While the
VFM has traditionally been used for magnetic force microscopy
experiments, it can also be used with techniques like conductive AFM (CAFM) and on a wide range of diverse samples
including piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials."

Asylum Research announced their new MFP-3D Variable
Field Module (VFM4) accessory for Atomic Force Microscopes
(AFMs) which enable measurements under applied in-plane
and out-of-plane magnetic fields in order to better understand
their effects on nanoscale magnetic domain structure. The
VFM4 is capable of applying either an adjustable in-plane
(±8000 G ) or out-of-plane (±1200 G) magnetic field to a sample
and offers approximately 1 G field resolution.
The VFM4 attaches to many Asylum Research models and includes replaceable pole tips to quickly adapt between in-plane
and out-of-plane configurations. It maintains a steady magnetic
field with rare-earth magnets that produce no heat, thermal
drift, or mechanical vibration. For experiments where both
an applied magnetic field and a high tip-sample voltage bias
are required, there is an optional high-voltage kit to adapt the
VFM4 for safe application of voltages up to ±220 Volts.
Asylum Research is an Oxford Instruments company specializing in making atomic force microscopes for academic research
and industrial R&D.

at a national synchrotron facility to use AFM for research that
was previously only possible with very costly and time-consum-
