Abstract:
In an approach for providing simulation results of an interaction between a transducer head and a magnetic medium, a computer identifies a first raster scan of a sample via a scanning probe microscope. The computer generates a topography image based on the first raster scan of the sample. The computer identifies one or more reference features within the created topography image. The computer calculates an average height based on the one or more reference features. The computer determines a lift distance associated with a probe of the scanning probe microscope. The computer defines a uniform plane based on the calculated average height and the determined lift distance. The computer performs a second raster scan of the sample based on the defined uniform plane. The computer generates a fly-height image based on the second raster scan. The computer provides simulation results based at least in part on the second raster scan.

Claim (Index 8):
A computer program product for providing simulation results of an interaction between a transducer head and a magnetic medium the computer program product comprising:\n one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising: program instructions to identify a first raster scan of a sample via a scanning probe microscope; program instructions to generate a topography image based on the first raster scan of the sample; program instructions to identify one or more reference features within the created topography image; program instructions to calculate an average height based on the identified one or more reference features; program instructions to determine a lift distance associated with a probe of the scanning probe microscope; program instructions to define a uniform plane based on the calculated average height and the determined lift distance; program instructions to perform a second raster scan of the sample based on the defined uniform plane; program instructions to generate a fly-height image based on the second raster scan; and program instructions to provide simulation results based at least in part on the second raster scan.
