Abstract
The magnetic force microscopy of soft magnetic materials is a challeng e due to the perturbing effect of the tip stray field on the sample ma gnetisation. Ferromagnetic thin film tips have been characterised by L orentz electron microscopy and the tips employed in the study of a per malloy magneto-resistive sensor. Residual domains in the permalloy wer e detected and the location of domain walls related to the presence of imperfections in the edge of the sensor.
