    摘要: An AFM based technique has been demonstrated for performing highly localized IR spectroscopy on a sample surface. Such a technique implemented in a commercially viable analytical instrument would be extremely useful. Various aspects of the experimental set-up have to be changed to create a commercial version. The invention addresses many of these issues thereby producing a version of the analytical technique that cab be made generally available to the scientific community.

    摘要: Described herein are devices and methods for sensing pulsed forces. Some of the described devices and methods are also useful for measuring infrared absorbances and compiling spectral and chemical maps of surfaces. Also described are microcantilever having reduced harmonic frequencies when operating in contact mode. Some of the described microcantilevers comprise an internal resonator configured to vibrate substantially independent of friction between the microcantilever tip and a surface when the microcantilever operates in contact mode. A number of the described devices and methods are useful for monitoring pulsed forces with enhanced sensitivity.

    摘要: A probe assembly for an instrument and a method of manufacture includes a substrate and a cantilever having a length independent of typical alignment error during fabrication. In one embodiment, the probe assembly includes a buffer section interposed between the substrate and the cantilever. The cantilever extends from the buffer section and a portion of the buffer section extends beyond an edge of the substrate. The portion of the buffer section is more stiff than the cantilever. The corresponding method of producing the probe assembly facilitates batch fabrication without compromising probe performance.

    摘要: Dynamic IR radiation power control, beam steering and focus adjustment for use in a nanoscale IR spectroscopy system based on an Atomic Force Microscope. During illumination with a beam from an IR source, an AFM probe tip interaction with a sample due to local IR sample absorption is monitored. The power of the illumination at the sample is dynamically decreased to minimize sample overheating in locations/wavelengths where absorption is high and increased in locations/wavelengths where absorption is low to maintain signal to noise. Beam alignment and focus optimization as a function of wavelength are automatically performed.

    摘要: The invention is a system and method for producing highly localized calorimetry data on a sample surface. The system is based on an SPM or other system with a probe and fine positioning capability. A heated probe is used to take a small sample (nano-sample) of a surface, and thereby make calorimetry measurements in a controlled manner.
