A New Method to Fabricate Metal Tips for Scanning Probe Microscopy

Scanning hall probe microscopy technique for investigation of magnetic properties

Scanning Hall Probe Microscopy (SHPM) is a scanning probe microscopy technique developed to observe and image magnetic fields locally. This method is based on application of the Hall Effect, supplied by a micro hall probe attached to the end of cantilever as a sensor.  SHPM provides direct quantitative information on the magnetic state of a material and can also image magnetic induction under a...

Preparation of platinum/iridium scanning probe microscopy tips

Metal-free scanning optical microscopy with a fractal fiber probe.

Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) is the leading instrument used to image optical fields on the nanometer scale. A metal-coating is typically applied to SNOM probes to define a subwavelength aperture and minimize optical leakage, but the presence of such coatings in the near field of the sample can often cause a substantial change in the sample emission properties. For the first tim...

Introduction to Scanning Probe Microscopy

Today’s research laboratory is required to solve difficult problems that span multiple disciplines. Advanced techniques are required to answer pressing questions related to adhesion, bonding, contamination and surface cleanliness, corrosion, surface morphology, surface roughness, surface topography, failure analysis, process monitoring, surface chemistry, biological characterization, local surf...
