High Resolution Image with Multi-wall Carbon Nanotube Atomic Force Microscopy Tip (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper, a simple and reproducible approach for attaching the multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) to the apex of the atomic force microscope probe has been proposed. For this purpose, the dielectrophoresis method was applied due to its simple performance, cheapness and reliability. In this method, various parameters such as voltage, frequency, concentration of carbon nanotubes solution an...
متن کاملEffect of ion-binding and chemical phospholipid structure on the nanomechanics of lipid bilayers studied by force spectroscopy.
The nanomechanical response of supported lipid bilayers has been studied by force spectroscopy with atomic force microscopy. We have experimentally proved that the amount of ions present in the measuring system has a strong effect on the force needed to puncture a 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine bilayer with an atomic force microscope tip, thus highlighting the role that monovalent ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional atomic force microscopy: interaction force vector by direct observation of tip trajectory.
The prospect of a robust three-dimensional atomic force microscope (AFM) holds significant promise in nanoscience. Yet, in conventional AFM, the tip-sample interaction force vector is not directly accessible. We scatter a focused laser directly off an AFM tip apex to rapidly and precisely measure the tapping tip trajectory in three-dimensional space. This data also yields three-dimensional cant...
متن کاملSize-dependent on vibration and flexural sensitivity of atomic force microscope
In this paper, the free vibration behaviors and flexural sensitivity of atomic force microscope cantilevers with small-scale effects are investigated. To study the small-scale effects on natural frequencies and flexural sensitivity, the consistent couple stress theory is applied. In this theory, the couple stress is assumed skew-symmetric. Unlike the classical beam theory, the new model contain...
متن کاملHow to determine local elastic properties of lipid bilayer membranes from atomic-force-microscope measurements: a theoretical analysis.
Measurements with an atomic force microscope (AFM) offer a direct way to probe elastic properties of lipid bilayer membranes locally: provided the underlying stress-strain relation is known, material parameters such as surface tension or bending rigidity may be deduced. In a recent experiment a pore-spanning membrane was poked with an AFM tip, yielding a linear behavior of the force-indentation...
