Proposed triaxial atomic force microscope contact-free tweezers for nanoassembly.
We propose a triaxial atomic force microscope contact-free tweezer (TACT) for the controlled assembly of nanoparticles suspended in a liquid. The TACT overcomes four major challenges faced in nanoassembly, as follows. (1) The TACT can hold and position a single nanoparticle with spatial accuracy smaller than the nanoparticle size (approximately 5 nm). (2) The nanoparticle is held away from the ...
متن کاملGDQEM Analysis for Free Vibration of V-shaped Atomic Force Microscope Cantilevers
V-shaped and triangular cantilevers are widely employed in atomic force microscope (AFM) imaging techniques due to their stability. For the design of vibration control systems of AFM cantilevers which utilize patched piezo actuators, obtaining an accurate system model is indispensable prior to acquiring the information related to natural modes. A general differential quadrature element method (...
متن کاملA versatile atomic force microscope for three-dimensional nanomanipulation and nanoassembly.
A conventional atomic force microscope (AFM) has been successfully applied to manipulating nanoparticles (zero-dimensional), nanowires (one-dimensional) or nanotubes (one- or two-dimensional) by widely used pushing or pulling operations on a single surface. However, pick-and-place nanomanipulation in air is still a challenge. In this research, a modified AFM, called a three-dimensional (3D) man...
متن کاملContact electrification studies using atomic force microscope techniques
Contact electrification measurements using atomic force microscopy techniques were performed using micrometer-sized spheres made of polystyrene and flat substrates of either freshly cleaved, highly oriented pyrolytic graphite ~HOPG! or a 0.2-mm-thick Au@111# film grown on mica. The polystyrene/HOPG interaction exhibited significant electrostatic charging when compared to the polystyrene/Au syst...
متن کاملContact resonances of U-shaped atomic force microscope probes
Recent approaches used to characterize the elastic or viscoelastic properties of materials with nanoscale resolution have focused on the contact resonances of atomic force microscope (CR-AFM) probes. The experiments for these CR-AFM methods involve measurement of several contact resonances from which the resonant frequency and peak width are found. The contact resonance values are then compared...
