Abstract:
A workpiece holder for holding a workpiece, which is used for an electron beam application apparatus for processing a workpiece by irradiating the surface of said workpiece with an electron beam, or observing the surface state of a workpiece by detecting secondary electrons produced from the workpiece by irradiation of the workpiece with an electron beam, includes a positioning portion which comes closer to an end portion of said workpiece when said workpiece holder holds the workpiece, thereby positioning the workpiece, in which the surface height of the end portion of the workpiece is nearly equal to the height of said positioning portion.
Abstract:
A magnetic field measurement apparatus comprises a plurality of magnetometers each comprising SQUID's and three detection coils each of which detects each of three orthogonal directional magnetic field components ( Bx, By, Bz) of a magnetic field generated from a subject to be inspected, a display which displays time variation of waveform of magnitude null{square root}(Bx2nullBy2nullBz2)null of magnetic field synthesized by square sum of each of the three orthogonal directional magnetic field components of the magnetic field generated from the subject to be inspected, a holding means for holding Dewar's vessel for arranging magnetometers therein, and a controlling means for controlling a positional relationship between the subject to be inspected and the Dewar's vessel. Accurate time variation of magnetic field generated from the subject to be inspected can be detected without influence of positional change of the subject to be inspected, by simultaneously measuring each of three orthogonal directional magnetic field components ( Bx, By, Bz) of a magnetic field generated from current sources in the subject to be inspected.

Distribution of magnetic fields generated from the heart is determined with a small number of fluxmeters.

Abstract:
A magnetic recording medium having at least two magnetic layers and a non-magnetic intermediate layer held between them. The first magnetic layer (which is closer to the substrate than the non-magnetic intermediate layer) is formed from an alloy composed of Co, Pr, and Cr, with Pt content being 3-9 at %. The second magnetic layer (which is farther from the substrate than the non-magnetic intermediate layer) is formed from a Co-based alloy containing Pt, Cr, and B. The first and second magnetic layers are magnetized in the mutually antiparallel direction in the absence of an applied magnetic field. The magnetic recording medium is characterized by good thermal stability for recording bits, high recording resolution, and low media noise. It is suitable for a magnetic storage for high recording density with high reliability.

Heights of a sample are calibrated by setting a calibrating substrate on a stage and then irradiating a charged particle beam onto standard marks provided on at least two kinds of surfaces having different substrate heights. Secondary charged particles produced from said irradiated standard marks on the substrate are and detected and a surface height of the irradiated portion of the substrate measured. The difference in height between the standard marks is set to be in a range containing an extent, over the entire sample, to which the height of the sample varies due to warping.
