Scanning magnetic microscopes typically measure the vertical component B_3 of the magnetic field on a horizontal rectangular grid at close proximity to the sample. This feature makes them valuable instruments for analyzing magnetized materials at fine spatial scales, e.g., in geosciences to access ancient magnetic records that might be...

Recent advances in magnetic microscopy have enabled studies of geological samples whose weak and spatially nonuniform magnetizations were previously inaccessible to standard magnetometry techniques. A quantity of central importance is the net magnetic moment, which reflects the mean direction and the intensity of the magnetization states of...

We consider the inverse problem in magnetostatics for recovering the moment of a planar magnetization from measurements of the normal component of the magnetic field at a distance from the support. Such issues arise in studies of magnetic material in general and in paleomagnetism in particular. Assuming the magnetization is a measure with...
