Atomic Force Microscopy (afm) (AFM/STM Multimode)

Atomic Force Microscopy (afm) (AFM/STM Multimode)

Additional information

MANUFACTURER Veeco
MODEL AFM/STM Multimode

Samples

  • Samples size: 15 mm maximum
  • Thickness: 5 mm maximum
  • Lateral resolution : atomic

Analysis

  • Modes :
    • STM : current feedback
    • AFM: contact (deflection feedback) and tapping mode (amplitude feedback)
  • Very versatile apparatus, may be configured as Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) or as an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM); measurements are performed at ambient atmosphere

Applications

  • Routine topographical measurements
  • Study of molecules self-organization and their interaction with the substrate
  • Material contrast via the detection of friction/adhesion (contact mode) or the cantilever vibration phase (tapping mode)

Characteristics

  • Maximum scanning dimensions:
    • (STM): X and Y: 500 nm, Z: 200 nm
    • (AFM): X and Y: 10 µm, Z: 2.5 µm
  • Additional signals available during the scanning: friction (contact mode), phase (tapping mode)
  • Cell available for electrochemical measurements in liquid ambient T< 60 °C

ADVANCED TECHNIQUES

  • Lateral Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM)
  • Double scan mode with PLL loop to detect and follow the resonance frequency
