A Lorentz force microscope and a method of measuring magnetic domains using Lorentz force are provided. The Lorentz force microscope includes: a conductive probe which is actuated by Lorentz force occurring due to the interaction between a magnetic field of the magnetic medium and current applied into the magnetic field; a bottom electrode which is prepared on one side of the magnetic medium, for charging the magnetic field with electricity; a scanner for supporting the magnetic medium on which the bottom electrode is prepared and actuating the magnetic medium when the conductive probe opposite to a record of the magnetic medium scans the record of the magnetic medium; and an information detector for controlling the scanner and detecting information on magnetization of the magnetic medium from motion components of the conductive probe. Directions of Lorentz force which is applied to the conductive probe are sensed in a state that the conductive probe contacts or does not contact the magnetic medium to detect magnetization directions of the magnetic domains. Thus, a magnetic domain distribution map having improved resolution can be obtained. |
