ABSTRACT
As material sizes shrink, novel magnetic phenomena often emerge
that are drastically different from their bulk counterparts. Spin-
polarized scanning tunneling microscopy enables studying of
magnetic phenomena on surfaces with real space imaging and
spectroscopy techniques down to the atomic level. Because of its
ability to directly correlate topographic, electronic, and magnetic
properties, it is a powerful tool to resolve and even manipulate
complex spin structures at the ultimate spatial resolution.
