Abstract
The resolving power of various magnetic probes, which depends on the probe shape and the amount of deposited magnetic material, has been determined by means of computer modeling. The minimum thickness of a cobalt film is experimentally determined, which must be applied to the surface of a filament crystal tip on a nonmagnetic cantilever in order to obtain a magnetic image. It is shown that the point probes with filament crystal tips coated by a thin magnetic film (obtained using a relatively simple preparation method) can provide a spatial resolution comparable with that achieved using cantilevers with magnetic nanoparticles, which require a significantly more complicated preparation procedures.
