thousand tips for future AFM data storage
We report on a new atomic force microscope (AFM)-based data storage concept called the “Millipede” that has a potentially ultrahigh density, terabit capacity, small form factor, and high data rate. Its potential for ultrahigh storage density has been demonstrated by a new thermomechanical local-probe technique to store and read back data in very thin polymer films. With this new technique, 30–4...
متن کاملNanocrystalline diamond AFM tips for chemical force spectroscopy: fabrication and photochemical functionalization†
The chemical modification of nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) atomic force microscope (AFM) tips was investigated and used for chemical force spectroscopy (CFS). In contrast to common chemical modification routes for gold or silicon AFM tips, this method creates stable C–C bonding to attach functional moieties to the NCD tip. There have been no previous studies reporting the chemical functionaliza...
متن کاملCarbon nanotube scanning tunneling microscopy tips for chemically selective imaging.
Carboxyl-terminated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were successfully immobilized from solution phases onto the apexes of gold tips for scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Gold STM tips were first modified with self-assembled monolayers of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid, and its carboxyl groups were used to anchor carboxylated SWNTs through Zn2+ ion-bridged coordination. These SWNT tips gave hi...
متن کاملIdentifying tips for intramolecular NC-AFM imaging via in situ fingerprinting
A practical experimental strategy is proposed that could potentially enable greater control of the tip apex in non-contact atomic force microscopy experiments. It is based on a preparation of a structure of interest alongside a reference surface reconstruction on the same sample. Our proposed strategy is as follows. Spectroscopy measurements are first performed on the reference surface to ident...
متن کاملConductivity of an atomically defined metallic interface.
A mechanically formed electrical nanocontact between gold and tungsten is a prototypical junction between metals with dissimilar electronic structure. Through atomically characterized nanoindentation experiments and first-principles quantum transport calculations, we find that the ballistic conduction across this intermetallic interface is drastically reduced because of the fundamental mismatch...
