High Resolution Image with Multi-wall Carbon Nanotube Atomic Force Microscopy Tip (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper, a simple and reproducible approach for attaching the multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) to the apex of the atomic force microscope probe has been proposed. For this purpose, the dielectrophoresis method was applied due to its simple performance, cheapness and reliability. In this method, various parameters such as voltage, frequency, concentration of carbon nanotubes solution an...
متن کاملPhase modulation atomic force microscope with true atomic resolution
We have developed a dynamic force microscope DFM working in a novel operation mode which is referred to as phase modulation atomic force microscopy PM-AFM . PM-AFM utilizes a fixed-frequency excitation signal to drive a cantilever, which ensures stable imaging even with occasional tip crash and adhesion to the surface. The tip-sample interaction force is detected as a change of the phase differ...
متن کاملProbing three-dimensional surface force fields with atomic resolution: Measurement strategies, limitations, and artifact reduction
Noncontact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) is being increasingly used to measure the interaction force between an atomically sharp probe tip and surfaces of interest, as a function of the three spatial dimensions, with picometer and piconewton accuracy. Since the results of such measurements may be affected by piezo nonlinearities, thermal and electronic drift, tip asymmetries, and elastic def...
متن کاملLimits of Resolution in Atomic Force Microscopy
We calculate the limits of atomic resolution of an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip probing the elastic surfa«e of graphite. Interaction energies between a «sharp" Pd tip with one apex atom and graphite are obtained from ab initio total energy calculations within the density functional formalism. The effect of long-range Van der Waals forces on the tip-substrate interaction is considered expli...
متن کاملHigh-resolution noncontact atomic force microscopy.
Progress in nanoscience and nanotechnology requires tools that enable the imaging and manipulation of matter at the atomic and molecular scale. During the last two decades or so, scanning probe-based techniques have proven to be particularly versatile in this regard. Among the various probe-based approaches, atomic force microscopy (AFM) stands out in many ways, including the total number of ci...
