Exploring mechanism of xanthate adsorption on chalcopyrite surface: An atomic force microscopy study
In this work, adsorption of the potassium amyl xanthate collector on the pure chalcopyrite surface was studied by applying atomic force microscopy (AFM). The adsorption experiments were carried out at different concentrations of the collector and at diverse pH values in the presence or absence of exterior ions. The changes occurring in the surface morphology of chalcopyrite due to the collector...
متن کاملPhase modulation atomic force microscope with true atomic resolution
We have developed a dynamic force microscope DFM working in a novel operation mode which is referred to as phase modulation atomic force microscopy PM-AFM . PM-AFM utilizes a fixed-frequency excitation signal to drive a cantilever, which ensures stable imaging even with occasional tip crash and adhesion to the surface. The tip-sample interaction force is detected as a change of the phase differ...
متن کاملFrequency response of an atomic force microscope in liquids and air: Magnetic versus acoustic excitation
We discuss the dynamics of an amplitude modulation atomic force microscope in different environments such as water and air. Experiments, analytical expressions, and numerical simulations show that the resonance curves depend on the excitation method used to drive the cantilever, either mechanical or magnetic. This dependence is magnified for small force constants and quality factors, i.e., belo...
متن کاملEnhanced compositional sensitivity in atomic force microscopy by the excitation of the first two flexural modes
The authors demonstrate that the compositional sensitivity of an atomic force microscope is enhanced by the simultaneous excitation of its first two flexural eigenmodes. The coupling of those modes by the nonlinear probe-surface interactions enables to map compositional changes in several conjugated molecular materials with a phase shift sensitivity that is about one order of magnitude higher t...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis of Frequency Response of Atomic Force Microscopy in Liquid Environment on Cantilever's Geometrical Parameters
In this paper, the non-linear dynamic response of rectangular atomic force microscopy in tapping mode is considered. The effect of cantilever’s geometrical parameters (e.g., cantilever length, width, thickness, tip length and the angle between the cantilever and the sample's surface in liquid environment has been studied by taking into account the interaction forces. Results indicate that the r...
