Force detected nuclear magnetic resonance on (NH₄)₂SO₄ and MgB₂

Nuclear magnetic resonance force microscopy (NMRFM) is a technique that combines aspects of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to obtain 3 dimensional nanoscale spatial resolution and perform spectroscopy. We describe the components of a helium-3 NMRFM probe and studies of ammonium sulfate ((NH₄)₂SO₄) and magnesium diboride (MgB₂). For our room temperature (NH₄)₂SO₄ studies we were able to perform a 1-D scan and perform nutation and spin echo experiments. In our 77 K MgB₂ we demonstrate a 1-D scan of a 30 micron powder sample. In addition, we describe magnetic measurements of the possible dilute semiconductors Mn[subscript x]Sc[subscript 1-x]N and Fe₀.₁Sc₀.₉N. / text
