Application Note #133 Introduction to Bruker’s ScanAsyst and PeakForce Tapping AFM Technology
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Let’s examine briefly the actual workflow necessary to run an AFM experiment. A typical session starts with sample preparation and AFM mode selection. The latter sometimes dictating the former. Once the sample is ready, the AFM has to be set up (i.e., the sample has to be mounted, the scan mode selected, a tip inserted, and the detection system aligned). After that, the system has to be brought into “feedback” and the feedback constantly tuned by the operator according to the scan conditions to ensure proper operation. Following the successful acquisition of an image it has to be analyzed and presented. Application Note #133

Application Note #145 Nanoscale Mapping of Permittivity and Conductivity with Scanning Microwave Impedance Microscopy
is an AFM-based technique for materials and device characterization. The reflected microwave signal from the tip-sample interface holds information of the electrodynamic properties of the sample surface underneath the tip apex. Detecting and processing of the reflectance in real time allows sMIM to directly access the permittivity and conductivity of materials. When an AFM-type sMIM probe is sc...
متن کاملAtomic force microscopy of red-light photoreceptors using peakforce quantitative nanomechanical property mapping.
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) uses a pyramidal tip attached to a cantilever to probe the force response of a surface. The deflections of the tip can be measured to ~10 pN by a laser and sectored detector, which can be converted to image topography. Amplitude modulation or "tapping mode" AFM involves the probe making intermittent contact with the surface while oscillating at its resonant frequen...
متن کاملSimultaneous Electrical and Mechanical Property Mapping at the Nanoscale with PeakForce TUNA
through PeakForce QNMTM, 3) correlated nanoscale AFM-based conductivity measurements are a powerful technique for nanometer-scale electrical characterization on a wide range of samples. Traditionally, these measurements have been categorized into two classes: Conductive AFM (CAFM), which covers the higher current range (sub-nA up to μA), and Tunneling AFM (TUNA), which covers the lower current ...
متن کاملPeakForce Tapping resolves individual microvilli on living cells†
Microvilli are a common structure found on epithelial cells that increase the apical surface thus enhancing the transmembrane transport capacity and also serve as one of the cell's mechanosensors. These structures are composed of microfilaments and cytoplasm, covered by plasma membrane. Epithelial cell function is usually coupled to the density of microvilli and its individual size illustrated ...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Hydrodynamic Forces for AFM Operations in Liquid
For advanced atomic force microscopy (AFM) investigation of chemical surface modifications or very soft organic sample surfaces, the AFM probe tip needs to be operated in a liquid environment because any attractive or repulsive forces influenced by the measurement environment could obscure molecular forces. Due to fluid properties, the mechanical behavior of the AFM cantilever is influenced by ...
