Nanomachining of Fused Quartz Using Atomic Force Microscope
Nanomachining experiments on fused quartz surface have been performed using an atomic force microscope combined with a two-axis capacitive force/displacement transducer. The minimum normal force fnP needed to form reproducibly a groove was about 4.7 μN. The minimum critical normal force fnR, tangential force ftR, and groove depth dgR when the material removal process began were found to be 33.7...
متن کاملDynamic response of a cracked atomic force microscope cantilever used for nanomachining
The vibration behavior of an atomic force microscope [AFM] cantilever with a crack during the nanomachining process is studied. The cantilever is divided into two segments by the crack, and a rotational spring is used to simulate the crack. The two individual governing equations of transverse vibration for the cracked cantilever can be expressed. However, the corresponding boundary conditions a...
متن کاملNanolithography and manipulation of graphene using an atomic force microscope
We use an atomic force microscope (AFM) to manipulate graphene films on a nanoscopic length scale. By means of local anodic oxidation with an AFM we are able to structure isolating trenches into single-layer and few-layer graphene flakes, opening the possibility of tabletop graphene based device fabrication. Trench sizes of less than 30 nm in width are attainable with this technique. Besides ox...
متن کاملModification of 1d Ballistic Transport Using an Atomic Force Microscope
We have used the scanning charged tip of an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) to produce images of the conductance variation of a quantised 1D ballistic channel. The channel was formed using electron beam defined 700 nm wide split gate surface electrodes over a high mobility GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure with a two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) 98 nm beneath the surface. We operate the AFM at 1.5 K...
متن کاملForce Spectroscopy with the Atomic Force Microscope
Introduction and Review Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) Spectroscopy is an AFM based technique to measure, and sometimes control the polarity and strength of the interaction between the AFM tip and the sample. Although the tip-sample interaction may be studied in terms of the energy, the quantity that is measured first is always the tip-sample force, and thus the nomenclature: force spectroscopy....
