Magnetic resonance is powerful microscopic probe of local magnetic and structural properties.  We are applying the emerging technique of Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy (MRFM), a new approach that employs mechanical detection of magnetic resonance to achieve exceptional detection sensitivity which in turn enables very high resolution magnetic resonance imaging and local characterization.
