A variable temperature ultrahigh vacuum atomic force microscope
A new atomic force microscope (AFM) that operates in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) is described. The sample is held fixed with spring clamps while the AMF cantilever and deflection sensor are scanned above it. Thus, the sample is easily coupled to a liquid nitrogen cooled thermal reservoir which allows AFM operation from ≈ 100 K to room temperature. AFM operation above room temperature is also possibl...
متن کاملVariable-temperature independently driven four-tip scanning tunneling microscope.
The authors have developed an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) variable-temperature four-tip scanning tunneling microscope (STM), operating from room temperature down to 7 K, combined with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Four STM tips are mechanically and electrically independent and capable of positioning in arbitrary configurations in nanometer precision. An integrated controller system for both ...
متن کاملAn ultrahigh vacuum fast-scanning and variable temperature scanning tunneling microscope for large scale imaging.
We describe the design and performance of a fast-scanning, variable temperature scanning tunneling microscope (STM) operating from 80 to 700 K in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV), which routinely achieves large scale atomically resolved imaging of compact metallic surfaces. An efficient in-vacuum vibration isolation and cryogenic system allows for no external vibration isolation of the UHV chamber. The d...

متن کاملNew design of a variable-temperature ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscope
We present the design of a variable-temperature ultrahigh vacuum ~UHV! scanning tunneling microscope which can be operated between 20 and 400 K. The microscope is mounted directly onto the heat exchanger of a He continuous flow cryostat without vibration isolation inside the UHV chamber. The coarse approach is performed with an inertial slider driven by the same piezo tube that is also used for...
