摘要: A cantilever device for scanning a surface comprises a support, a tip platform and a flexible arm arrangement. The tip platform has a plurality of tips. These comprise at least two contact tips providing points of contact with a surface to be scanned, and a scanning tip for scanning the surface, where the scanning tip may be one of the two or more contact tips provided on the platform. The flexible arm arrangement connects the tip platform to the support and allows orientation of the platform, via flexing of the arm arrangement, to bring the contact tips into contact with a surface to be scanned. The platform is then at a well-defined orientation relative to the scan surface, and the scanning tip is appropriately positioned for the scanning operation. Scanning probe microscopes and data storage devices incorporating such cantilever devices are also provided.

摘要: A method for writing data to and/or reading data from locations on a surface via a tip comprises moving the tip between the locations on the surface. At each location, energy is selectively applied to the surface via the tip and the tip and the surface are selectively forced together in synchronization with the application of energy.

摘要: This die-shaped coarse-approach positioning device is particularly suited for the sample holder of a scanning tunneling microscope or the like. It comprises two blocks (21, 23), one (21) stationary, the other tiltable with respect to the stationary one. The blocks (21, 23) are connected on one side by a spring-like sheet metal (20). The tiltable block (23) can be moved, and with it the sample (33), by turning a screw (28) which presses down onto an elastic pad (30). The tilting of the tiltable block (23) occurs against the effect of the sheet metal (20) until the block (23) touches down onto a wedge (39) insertable in the gap (24) between the blocks (21, 23), and consisting of an elastic material, however, having a spring constant much higher than the effective spring constant of the sheet metal (20). In the application shown, the sample can be lowered onto a tunnel tip (34) attached to a fine-approach positioning device (35).
