    摘要: A scanning probe microscope (SPM) has a piezoelectric actuator-based tube scanner to which a probe is attached and which is moveable in three planes by the application of a voltage to the piezoelectric tube. A set of flexures flex with the displacement of the tube and strain gauges attached to the flexures measure the flex of the flexures to provide feedback as to the displacement of the tube during the scanning of an object. The strain gauges and flexures form a kinematic sensing frame or arrangement in which a single constraint is provided for each degree of freedom and in which the constraints are at least substantially orthogonal to one another.

    摘要: Provided is a cantilever excitation device capable of preventing complication of resonance characteristics by a simple configuration. A cantilever excitation device (1) is provided with a cantilever (7), a cantilever holder (3) for holding the cantilever (7), and a piezoelectric vibrator (5) attached to the cantilever holder (3). The cantilever holder (3) includes a holder main part (11) (first part) having an acoustic impedance different from that of the piezoelectric vibrator (5) for transmitting vibration of the piezoelectric vibrator by elastic deformation and an attachment piece (13) (second part) having the acoustic impedance different from that of the first part for forming a material boundary to block propagation of an acoustic wave between the same and the first part. The first and second parts are interposed between the piezoelectric vibrator (5) and the cantilever (7).

    摘要: A method of compensating for an artifact in data collected using a standard atomic force microscope (AFM) operating in an oscillating mode. The artifact is caused by deflection of the probe not related to actual probe-sample interaction and the method includes compensating for thermal induced bending of the probe of the AFM by measuring a DC component of the measured deflection. The DC component of deflection is identified by calibrating the optical deflection detection apparatus and monitoring movement of the mean deflection, thereby allowing the preferred embodiments to minimize the adverse effect due to the artifact. Notably, plotting the DC deflection profile yields a corresponding temperature profile of the sample.

    摘要: A balanced momentum probe holder in an apparatus for characterizing a sample surface has first and second members (146, 150) each having extensible and retractable distal ends (148, 152). The distal ends extend or retract substantially simultaneously in response to a signal from a detector (190) thus balancing the momentums of the first and second members and reducing the net momemtum of the probe holder (114B) to essentially zero. Balancing the momentum of the probe holder reduces parasitic oscillations in the apparatus thus enhancing performance.
