Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) image perturbations caused by probe–sample magnetic interaction. a Schematic illustration of the magnetic stray field generated by an MFM probe. All MFM imaging was performed using low moment tips (NT-MDT MFM-LM (low moment)), with magnetic CoCr coating thickness of \(\sim\)15 nm. \(\Delta z\) represents the tip lift height used to record the MFM phase signal. b MFM imaging of the demagnetised state of Ta/CoFeB/MgO multilayer at different \(\Delta z\), with the corresponding image histograms shown in (c). The bin width is kept constant across all histograms
