Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) is a member of scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) family which enables nanostructure investigation of the surfaces on a wide range of materials. In fact, SNOM combines the SPM technology to the optical microscopy and in this way provide a powerful tool to study nano-structures with very high spatial resolution. In this paper, a qualified overview of ...

This letter reports the design, fabrication, and testing of a multifunctional scanning probe array for nanoscale imaging and patterning. The probe array consists of multiple cantilever probes, with each probe being able to perform a dedicated function such as scanning probe lithography (e.g., dip pen nanolithography and scanning probe contact printing) or scanning probe microscopy (e.g., atomic...
