Nonlinear dynamical properties of an oscillating tip–cantilever system in the tapping mode
The dynamical properties of an oscillating tip–cantilever system are now widely used in the field of scanning force microscopy. The aim of the present work is to get analytical expressions describing the nonlinear dynamical properties of the oscillator in noncontact and intermittent contact situations in the tapping mode. Three situations are investigated: the pure attractive interaction, the p...
متن کاملThe Transient Behavior of LC and Ring Oscillators under External Frequency Injection
In this work, time domain analysis is used to solve Adler’s equation in order to obtain the required time, for an oscillator under external injection, reaching the steady-state condition. Mathematical approach has been applied to fully describe the transient of frequency acquisition in injection-locked LC and Ring oscillators considering their time-varying nature. Then, the analysis is verifie...
متن کاملAnalog frequency modulation detector for dynamic force microscopy
A new analog frequency modulation ~FM! detector ~demodulator! for dynamic force microscopy ~DFM! is presented. The detector is designed for DFM by utilizing the FM detection method where the resonance frequency shift of the force sensor is kept constant to regulate the distance between a tip and a sample surface. The FM detector employs a phase-locked loop ~PLL! circuit using a voltage-controll...
متن کاملCharge retention characteristics of silicon nanocrystal layers by ultrahigh vacuum atomic force microscopy
The nanoscale charge retention characteristics of both electrons and holes in SiO2 layers containing silicon nanocrystals were investigated with ultrahigh vacuum conductive-tip noncontact atomic force microscopy. The results revealed much longer hole retention time e.g., 1 day than that of electrons e.g., 1 h . A three-dimensional electrostatic model was developed for charge quantification and ...
متن کاملEffects of Fluid Environment Properties on the Nonlinear Vibrations of AFM Piezoelectric Microcantilevers
Nowadays, atomic-force microscopy plays a significant role in nanoscience and nanotechnology, and is widely used for direct measurement at atomic scale and scanning the sample surfaces. In tapping mode, the microcantilever of atomic-force microscope is excited at resonance frequency. Therefore, it is important to study its resonance. Moreover, atomic-force microscopes can be operated in fluid e...
