纳米尺度结构表面缺陷磁检测的理论极限

Theoretical limits of magnetic detection of structural surface defects at the nanometer scale

Wolfgang Körner, Daniel F. Urban, Christian Elsässer

AI总结:

本文通过计算软铁磁金属表面上方几十nm处的磁杂散场,分析纳米级裂纹、压痕等缺陷的早期磁检测极限,指出传感器间距与扫描步宽均需接近缺陷尺寸,并可由金刚石NV中心量子扫描显微实现。

摘要:

我们针对体心立方Fe或非晶CoFeB等软铁磁金属,研究了裂纹或压痕等结构表面缺陷与粗糙表面或次表面夹杂物相结合时产生的磁信号。我们基于表面上方几十nm处计算得到的磁杂散场,讨论了小型表面缺陷早期检测的极限。所考虑的表面不连续性延伸尺度为数nm,相当于Fe或CoFeB磁交换长度的较小倍数。检测如此微小的不均匀性要求传感器与表面的距离大致与不均匀性尺寸相当;此外,扫描传感器的步宽也必须处于同一尺度。这两项要求例如可通过采用金刚石氮-空位中心量子传感器的扫描显微技术来满足。

英文摘要:

We present a theoretical study on the magnetic signals of structural surface defects like cracks or indents combined with rough surfaces or subsurface inclusions of soft ferromagnetic metals like body-centered cubic Fe or amorphous CoFeB. We discuss limits of early detection of small surface defects on the basis of calculated magnetic stray fields few tens of nm above the surface. The considered surface imperfections have extensions of a few nm which correspond to low multiples of the magnetic exchange lengths of Fe or CoFeB. The detection of such small inhomogeneities requires that the sensor is about as close to the surface as the size of the inhomogeneity is. Furthermore, the step width of a scanning sensor must be of the same size as well. Both these requirements may be fulfilled for instance by scanning microscopy with diamond nitrogen-vacancy-center quantum sensors.
