Calibration of rectangular atomic force microscope cantilevers
A method to determine the spring constant of a rectangular atomic force microscope cantilever is proposed that relies solely on the measurement of the resonant frequency and quality factor of the cantilever in fluid ~typically air!, and knowledge of its plan view dimensions. This method gives very good accuracy and improves upon the previous formulation by Sader et al. @Rev. Sci. Instrum. 66, 3...
متن کاملCalibration of atomic-force microscope tips
Images and force measurements taken by an atomic-force microscope ( AFM) depend greatly on the properties of the spring and tip used to probe the sample’s surface. In this article, we describe a simple, nondestructive procedure for measuring the force constant, resonant frequency, and quality factor of an AFM cantilever spring and the effective radius of curvature of an AFM tip. Our procedure u...
متن کاملCalibration of atomic force microscope cantilevers using piezolevers.
The atomic force microscope (AFM) can provide qualitative information by numerous imaging modes, but it can also provide quantitative information when calibrated cantilevers are used. In this article a new technique is demonstrated to calibrate AFM cantilevers using a reference piezolever. Experiments are performed on 13 different commercially available cantilevers. The stiff cantilevers, whose...
متن کاملLateral force calibration in atomic force microscopy: A new lateral force calibration method and general guidelines for optimization
Proper force calibration is a critical step in atomic and lateral force microscopies (AFM/LFM). The recently published torsional Sader method [C. P. Green et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 75, 1988 (2004)] facilitates the calculation of torsional spring constants of rectangular AFM cantilevers by eliminating the need to obtain information or make assumptions regarding the cantilever's material propert...
متن کاملLateral force calibration of an atomic force microscope with a diamagnetic levitation spring system
A novel diamagnetic lateral force calibrator D-LFC has been developed to directly calibrate atomic force microscope AFM cantilever-tip or -bead assemblies. This enables an AFM to accurately measure the lateral forces encountered in friction or biomechanical-testing experiments at a small length scale. In the process of development, deformation characteristics of the AFM cantilever assemblies un...
