Noise performance of frequency modulation Kelvin force microscopy
Noise performance of a phase-locked loop (PLL) based frequency modulation Kelvin force microscope (FM-KFM) is assessed. Noise propagation is modeled step by step throughout the setup using both exact closed loop noise gains and an approximation known as "noise gain" from operational amplifier (OpAmp) design that offers the advantage of decoupling the noise performance study from considerations ...
متن کاملAnalog frequency modulation detector for dynamic force microscopy
A new analog frequency modulation ~FM! detector ~demodulator! for dynamic force microscopy ~DFM! is presented. The detector is designed for DFM by utilizing the FM detection method where the resonance frequency shift of the force sensor is kept constant to regulate the distance between a tip and a sample surface. The FM detector employs a phase-locked loop ~PLL! circuit using a voltage-controll...
متن کاملReduction of frequency noise and frequency shift by phase shifting elements in frequency modulation atomic force microscopy.
We recently reported the analysis of the frequency noise in the frequency modulation atomic force microscopy (FM-AFM) both in high-Q and low-Q environments [Rev. Sci. Instrum. 80, 043708 (2009)]. We showed in the paper that the oscillator noise, the frequency fluctuation of the oscillator, becomes prominent in the modulation frequency lower than f(0)∕2Q, where f(0) and Q are the resonance frequ...
متن کاملSpatial horizons in amplitude and frequency modulation atomic force microscopy.
In dynamic atomic force microscopy (AFM) the cantilever is vibrated and its dynamics are monitored to probe the sample with nanoscale and atomic resolution. Amplitude and frequency modulation atomic force microscopy (AM-AFM and FM-AFM) have established themselves as the most powerful methods in the field. Nevertheless, it is still debatable whether one or the other technique is preferred in a g...
متن کاملPhysical interpretation of frequency-modulation atomic force microscopy
Frequency modulation atomic force microscopy is a method for imaging the surface of metals, semiconductors and insulators in ultrahigh vacuum with true atomic resolution. The imaging signal in this technique is the frequency shift D f of an oscillating cantilever with eigenfrequency f 0 , spring constant k and amplitude A, which is subject to tip-sample forces Fts . Here, we present analytical ...
