摘要:
The disclosed invention provides a sample holder capable of reducing or preventing the influence of a charged particle beam 11 deflected by applying a magnetic field to a sample 201 and provided with means for simply switching between a mode of observing the sample while applying a magnetic field to the sample, and a mode free of a magnetic field in which a magnetic field becomes zero completely. The sample holder includes a magnetic field generating element 301 including three or more magnetic gaps 351-353 for applying a magnetic field to a sample, a cantilever-beam-shaped sample holding element 202 that holds the sample 201 on one end thereof, and a moving mechanism that adjusts a relative position between a sample and a magnetic gap. The magnetic gaps 351-353 can be placed along an optical axis of the charged particle beam 11.

An electron beam device includes a first electron biprism between an acceleration tube and irradiation lens systems, and an electron biprism in the image forming lens system. The first electron biprism splits the electron beam into first and second electron beams, radiated to differently positioned first and second regions on objective plane of an objective lens system having a specimen perpendicular to an optical axis. The first and second electron beams are superposed on the observation plane by the electron biprism of the image forming lens system. The superposed region of those electron beams is observed or recorded. Optical action of the irradiation lens system controls each current density of the first and second electron beams on the objective plane of the objective lens system having the specimen, and distance on electron optics between first electron biprism and the objective plane of the objective lens system having the specimen.

A charged particle beam (12a, 12b) is transmitted through a specimen (14) for producing an irregular pattern as a first image. Further, a magnetic field to be measured (16) is arranged in space where a charged particle beam is passed between the specimen and an image plane thereby to produce a second image having an irregular pattern as in the foregoing case. The first image and the second image are processed to produce the deflection angle of the charged particle beam due to the magnetic field. This deflection angle is extracted from the entire positions of a cross section of the space where measurement is desired, thereby constructing projection data of a magnetic field by a charged particle beam. Furthermore, the magnetic field to be measured is rotated and the above-mentioned processing is performed from each direction to construct projection data. The projection data thus obtained and the computer tomography technique are used to determine a magnetic field at each point in space.

A perpendicular recording medium includes a perpendicular recording layer (17) formed over a substrate (11) through a soft magnetic underlayer (13, 14, 15), the soft magnetic underlayer (13, 14, 15) then being arranged to include a plurality of soft magnetic layers (13, 15) physically separated by a non-magnetic layer (14), and further, the soft magnetic layers (13, 15) being formed of nanocrystals, with these arrangements, local magnetic loops are formed between the soft magnetic layers (13, 15) that are adjacent to each other through the non-magnetic layer (14), thereby suppressing spike noise and modulation that arises from the soft magnetic underlayer (13, 14, 15).

When observing a magnetization image on a magnetic thin film by means of a scanning transmission electron microscope, the effect of a stray magnetic field is made smaller than that of a magnetization in order to produce a clear magnetic structure of the magnetization image. In order to reduce the effect of the stray magnetic field in comparison to that of the magnetization, the invention provides a scanning transmission electron microscope equipped with a specimen-holder driving means which can rotate the surface of a specimen 5 preferably by more than 90 degrees with an axis parallel to the optical path of an electron beam 1 taken as a center and incline the surface of the specimen 5 around a center axis 22 perpendicular to an axis 24 rotated earlier over the surface of the specimen 5 with respect to a magnetic-recording track direction and also perpendicular to the axis parallel to the optical path of the electron beam 1. The invention also provides a magnetic-recording image observing method and an image processing method.

A disclosure is made on an apparatus for measuring an electromagnetic field distribution using a focused electron beam which can measure the electromagnetic field distribution in a specimen with a high resolution and a high reliability. The present apparatus comprises: a focused electron beam radiation system for irradiating a specimen with a focused electron beam; a specimen tilt mechanism for tilting a specimen by 180° with a tilt axis being perpendicular to the optical axis of the focused electron beam; an electron beam position detector for measuring the direction and the quantity of the deflection given to the focused electron beam when it is transmitted through the specimen; and a processing system for calculating the direction and the intensity of an electric field, and the direction and the intensity of a magnetic field separately at a point on the specimen through which the focused electron beam is transmitted from the data on the direction and the quantity of the deflection of the focused electron beam measured by the electron beam position detector before and after the turnover of the specimen by the specimen tilt mechanism. Owing to the present apparatus, an electric field and a magnetic field in a specimen can be separately observed independent of each other.
