Shortening Carbon Nanotube-Tipped AFM Probes
A method is presented to indirectly measure and shorten carbon nantoubes grown from the tips of atomic force microscope (AFM) probes. The measurement component exploits the nanotubes ability to elastically buckle and requires only those signals and actuators available on a standard AFM. The shortening operation is facilitated by electric arcing using a conducting niobium substrate. The shorteni...
متن کاملMechanics and Vibrations of Carbon Nanotube Atomic Force Microscopy Probes
Single and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been described as ideal tips for atomic force microscope (AFM) microcantilevers. They offer high spatial resolution, excellent wear resistance, the ability to image high aspect ratio semiconductor trenches, and possess a low bending stiffness which allows imaging of soft biomolecules with reduced contact forces. The objective of the current re...
متن کاملMicro-wilhelmy and related liquid property measurements using constant-diameter nanoneedle-tipped atomic force microscope probes.
The micro-Wilhelmy method is a well-established method of determining surface tension by measuring the force of withdrawing a tens of microns to millimeters in diameter cylindrical wire or fiber from a liquid. A comparison of insertion force to retraction force can also be used to determine the contact angle with the fiber. Given the limited availability of atomic force microscope (AFM) probes ...
متن کاملNonlinear tapping dynamics of multi-walled carbon nanotube tipped atomic force microcantilevers
The nonlinear dynamics of an atomic force microcantilever (AFM) with an attached multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) tip is investigated experimentally and theoretically. We present the experimental nonlinear frequency response of a MWCNT tipped microcantilever in the tapping mode. Several unusual features in the response distinguish it from those traditionally observed for conventional tips. ...
متن کاملCarbon nanotube tipped atomic force microscopy for measurement of <100 nm etch morphology on semiconductors
The use of carbon nanotubes as tips in atomic force microscopy for a systematic study of dry etching pattern transfer in GaAs is described. The GaAs samples are patterned via electron beam lithography and then etched using magnetron reactive ion or chemically assisted ion beam processing. The technique allows diagnosis, in air, of etched features with scale sizes of ,100 nm. © 1998 American Ins...
