Improved atomic force microscope cantilever performance by ion beam modification
The performance of atomic force microscopy cantilevers, as measured by the resonant frequency and spring constant, is directly dependent on the shape of the cantilever. Here we have improved the performance of conventional silicon nitride cantilevers by using focused ion beam milling to minimize the width of the cantilever legs. The resonant frequency in solution for any given spring constant i...
متن کاملLength control and sharpening of atomic force microscope carbon nanotube tips assisted by an electron beam
We report on the precise positioning of a carbon nanotube on an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip. By using a nanomanipulator inside a scanning electron microscope, an individual nanotube was retrieved from a metal foil by the AFM tip. The electron beam allows us to control the nanotube length and to sharpen its end. The performance of these tips for AFM imaging is demonstrated by improved late...
متن کاملSingle cell mechanotransduction and its modulation analyzed by atomic force microscope indentation.
The skeleton adapts to its mechanical usage, although at the cellular level, the distribution and magnitude of strains generated and their detection are ill-understood. The magnitude and nature of the strains to which cells respond were investigated using an atomic force microscope (AFM) as a microindentor. A confocal microscope linked to the setup enabled analysis of cellular responses. Two di...
متن کاملCharacterization of Metallic Nanowires by Combining Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
A new experimental method is introduced in order to characterize the mechanical properties of metallic nanowires. An accurate mechanical characterization of nanowires requires simultaneous imaging using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and mechanical testing with an atomic force microscope (AFM). In this study, an AFM is located inside an SEM chamber in order to establish the visibility of th...
متن کاملNanometer-Scale Patterning on PMMA Resist by Force Microscopy Lithography
Nanoscale science and technology has today mainly focused on the fabrication of nano devices. In this paper, we study the use of lithography process to build the desired nanostructures directly. Nanolithography on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) surface is carried out by using Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) equipped with silicon tip, in contact mode. The analysis of the results shows that the ...
