<p>An apparatus and a method for retrieving data stored on a magnetic medium with a high resolution is described. It is characterized by measuring a tunneling current which is partly depending on the magnetization of the medium (1). This dependence is caused by irradiating the medium (1) with polarized non-ionizing light. The tunneling current can be measured with a high lateral resolution by applying a probing tip (2) as known from conventional scanning tunneling microscopy or related techniques.</p> |
