Architectures for Tracking Control in Atomic Force Microscopes
We evaluate the performance of two control architectures applied to atomic force microscopes (AFM). Feedback-only control is a natural solution and has been applied widely. Expanding on that, combining feedback controllers with plant-injection feedforward filters has been shown to greatly improve tracking performance in AFMs. Alternatively, performance can also be improved by the use of a close...

متن کاملImproved Control Strategies for Intermittent Contact Mode Atomic Force Microscopes
Atomic force microscopes have proved to be fundamental research tools in many situations where a gentle imaging process is required, and in a variety of environmental conditions, such as the study of biological samples. Among the possible modes of operation, intermittent contact mode is one that causes less wear to both the sample and the instrument; therefore, it is ideal when imaging soft sam...
متن کاملAlgorithms and Software for Nanomanipulation with Atomic Force Microscopes
Interactive manipulation of nanoparticles by mechanically pushing them with the tip of an AFM (Atomic Force Microscope) is now done routinely at many laboratories around the world. However, a human in the loop introduces significant inaccuracies and results in a very slow process, mostly because of the need for locating the particles before and after manipulation operations, in the presence of ...
متن کاملA Compact Vertical Scanner for Atomic Force Microscopes
A compact vertical scanner for an atomic force microscope (AFM) is developed. The vertical scanner is designed to have no interference with the optical microscope for viewing the cantilever. The theoretical stiffness and resonance of the scanner are derived and verified via finite element analysis. An optimal design process that maximizes the resonance frequency is performed. To evaluate the sc...
