Simulations of the Frequency Modulated - Atomic Force Microscope (FM-AFM) Nonlinear Control System
The Frequency Modulated Atomic Force Microscope (FM-AFM) is a powerful tool to perform surface investigation with true atomic resolution. The control system of the FM-AFM must keep constant both the frequency and amplitude of oscillation of the microcantilever during the scanning process of the sample. However, tip and sample interaction forces cause modulations in the microcantilever motion. A...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of Digital Demodulator for Frequency Modulated CW Radar (RESEARCH NOTE)
Radar Signal Processing has been an interesting area of research for realization of programmable digital signal processor using VLSI design techniques. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms have been an integral design methodology for implementation of high speed application specific real-time systems especially for high resolution radar. CORDIC algorithm, in recent times, is turned out to...
متن کاملFast, high-resolution atomic force microscopy using a quartz tuning fork as actuator and sensor
We report a new method of achieving tip–sample distance regulation in an atomic force microscope ~AFM!. A piezoelectric quartz tuning fork serves as both actuator and sensor of tip–sample interactions, allowing tip–sample distance regulation without the use of a diode laser or dither piezo. Such a tuning fork has a high spring constant so a dither amplitude of only 0.1 nm may be used to perform...
متن کاملHigh Speed Delay-Locked Loop for Multiple Clock Phase Generation
In this paper, a high speed delay-locked loop (DLL) architecture ispresented which can be employed in high frequency applications. In order to design the new architecture, a new mixed structure is presented for phase detector (PD) and charge pump (CP) which canbe triggered by double edges of the input signals. In addition, the blind zone is removed due to the elimination of reset signal. Theref...
متن کاملInterface circuits for quartz crystal sensors in scanning probe microscopy applications
Complementary to industrial cantilever based force sensors in scanning probe microscopy SPM , symmetrical quartz crystal resonators QCRs , e.g., tuning fork, trident tuning fork, and needle quartz sensors, are of great interest. A self-excitation scheme with QCR is particularly promising and allows the development of cheap SPM heads with excellent characteristics. We have developed a high perfo...
