Microcantilever Q control via capacitive coupling
We introduce a versatile method to control the quality factor Q of a conducting cantilever in an atomic force microscope (AFM) via capacitive coupling to the local environment. Using this method, Q may be reversibly tuned to within 10% of any desired value over several orders of magnitude. A point-mass oscillator model describes the measured effect. Our simple Q control module increases the AFM...
متن کاملModulated–demodulated control: Q control of an AFM microcantilever
We outline the application of modulated–demodulated control to the quality (Q) factor control of an atomic force microscope microcantilever. We review the modulated–demodulated control technique, emphasize its linear time invariant nature and develop state space representations of the controller for design and analysis. The modulated–demodulated controller can be configured as both positive pos...
متن کاملModeling Capacitive Coupling Effects via the Substrate
For modern integrated circuits, capacitive coupling effects between interconnects can play an important role. Also resistive coupling effects via the substrate may have a significant influence on circuit behavior. This has already been recognized some time ago [1], and several methods to model these effects have been developed [2]. In this paper we will show how we can model coupling effects th...
متن کاملEmc – Capacitive Coupling
The paper is dealing with some electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problems of converters and inverters, which are utilized for feeding of electric machines and its analyzing by PSPICE program. The main attention is focused on implications of parasitic capacitance and capacitive coupling existence.
متن کاملA Capacitive Microcantilever: Modelling, Validation, and Estimation Using Current Measurements
We present a mathematical model for the dynamics of an electrostatically actuated microcantilever. For the common case of cantilevers excited by a periodic voltage, we show that the underlying linearized dynamics are those of a periodic system described by a Mathieu equation. We present experimental results that confirm the validity of the model, and in particular, illustrate that parametric re...
