Computational methods to produce enhanced images out of given SNOM raw data.

We propose to produce enhanced images out of given raw data read out by SNOM through (i) improved image formation from the raw data; (ii) wavelet de-noising of the image; and (iii) resolution enhancement by deconvolution. Our methods of improvement are based on refined models for the reduction of noise present in SNOM images and on a linear model for the imaging process. They are successfully demonstrated on (magneto-)optical SNOM images of suitable test samples, but yet they are applicable to other scanning probe microscopy techniques.

Strong anisotropy of projected 3d moments in epitaxial CrO2 films.

Soft x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectra have been investigated for different crystallographic projections of CrO2. Strong anisotropic orbital Cr 3d contributions and a change of sign of the XMCD signal is observed and attributed to t(2g) majority states near the Fermi level. Additionally, moment analysis exhibits anisotropic behavior in the projected spin contributions of CrO2 assigned to a strong magnetic dipole term T(z), consistent with an intrinsic magnetic easy axis behavior along the CrO2 [001] axis. A reduced projected isotropic Cr 3d spin moment has been interpreted in terms of hybridization with oxygen.
