This script is used to obtain the dipole approximation of a magnetic force microscope (MFM) probe. See as an example the supplementary material of [1] and [2].
NOTE: For this script to work, you need to have in the same folder the simulated annealing function. It can be found in [3].
NOTE: Simulated annealing is slow, typically the fitting takes about 5 min.
Outside of the script: Gwyddion is used to calculate the magnetic field gradient of the MFM probe, as shown in [2]. The TTF image is exported as a txt file including a header (an example of data is included as both a txt and a png files).
Then, in the script:
1) Takes the text file and extract the raw data and the size of the image from the header
2) Calculates the magnetic field generated by a dipole (in symbolic form).
3) Calculates the derivative of the z-component of the field along the z direction.
4) It is assumed that the dipole approximation is centred at x=0 and y=0. At the moment the script doesn't considers a dipole shifted from the origin in x and y. The magnetic moment is decomposed in mmx mmy and mmz, and is located at a height, called rrz, from the tip of the probe.
5) Simulated annealing script[3] is used to find the values of mmx mmy mmz and
rrz that minimize the least square error between the given data and the
dipole approximation.
