[ 1 ] - Study of the size-dependant vibration behavior of an AFM microcantilever with a sidewall probe

In this paper, the resonant frequency and sensitivity of an atomic force microscope (AFM) with an assembled cantilever probe (ACP) are analyzed utilizing the modified couple stress theory. The proposed ACP comprises a horizontal microcantilever, an extension and a tip located at the free end of the extension, which make AFM capable of scanning the sample sidewall. First, the governing different...
