Hence, only one system ...
2 Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPMs) • Monitor the interactions between a probe and a sample surface • What we “see” is really an image • Two types of microscopy we will look at: – Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) – Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) 3 Scanning Tunneling Microscopes (STMs) • Monitors the electron tunneling current between a probe and a sample Scanning Probe surface &bull ...

Module -5 _ Unit-2 Scanning Probe Microscopy (STM, AFM) Scanning probe microscopy was discovered in early 1980s, when it splendid the world by producing the first real-space images of surfaces with an unprecedented resolution of atomic-scale. Presently, SPM is one of the most employed technique in various disciplines which include fundamental surface science, routine examinations of the surface roughness, and three-dimensional imaging (from the atoms ...
Lecture 4 Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) • General components of SPM; • Tip --- the probe; • Cantilever --- the indicator of the tip; • Tip-sample interaction --- the feedback system; • Scanner --- piezoelectric movement at x,y,z; • Measurement artifacts: vibration must be isolated. Generation of SPM image X-Y raster scanning; Z-modulation (height) by feedback system. Basic components of SPM: tip, cantilever ...
