A high-bandwidth amplitude estimation technique for dynamic mode atomic force microscopy.
While often overlooked, one of the prerequisites for high-speed amplitude modulation atomic force microscopy is a high-bandwidth amplitude estimation technique. Conventional techniques, such as RMS to DC conversion and the lock-in amplifier, have proven useful, but offer limited measurement bandwidth and are not suitable for high-speed imaging. Several groups have developed techniques, but many...
متن کاملMultilevel sequence detection for dynamic mode atomic force microscopy
The atomic force microscope is an instrument that is widely used in fields such as biology, chemistry and medicine for imaging at the atomic level. In this work, we consider a specific mode of AFM usage, known as the dynamic mode where the AFM cantilever probe is forced sinusoidally. In the absence of interaction with the sample being imaged, the cantilever follows a predictable sinusoidal traj...
متن کاملCantilever tilt causing amplitude related convolution in dynamic mode atomic force microscopy.
It is well known that the topography in atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a convolution of the tip's shape and the sample's geometry. The classical convolution model was established in contact mode assuming a static probe, but it is no longer valid in dynamic mode AFM. It is still not well understood whether or how the vibration of the probe in dynamic mode affects the convolution. Such ignoranc...
متن کاملTorsional Resonance Mode Imaging for High- Speed Atomic Force Microscopy
The instrumentation of high-speed imaging has been a challenge for scanning probe-based technologies. Mechanical stability of the system, surface tracking at sharp topographic transitions and prolonging tip lifetime have been the determining factors for practical applications. In this paper we report a new type of feedback control based on the torsional resonance amplitude (TRmode ) of cantilev...
متن کاملHigh-bandwidth multimode self-sensing in bimodal atomic force microscopy
Using standard microelectromechanical system (MEMS) processes to coat a microcantilever with a piezoelectric layer results in a versatile transducer with inherent self-sensing capabilities. For applications in multifrequency atomic force microscopy (MF-AFM), we illustrate that a single piezoelectric layer can be simultaneously used for multimode excitation and detection of the cantilever deflec...
