摘要: A scanning tunneling microscope includes a piezoelectric driver expanding and contracting according to a voltage applied thereto to adjust the distance between a sample and a probe. A servo circuit outputs a servo voltage to control the expansion and contraction of the piezoelectric driver to keep a tunnel current flowing between the sample and the probe at a constant value. A correction voltage generating circuit generates a given correction voltage to correct a voltage to be applied to the piezoelectric driver. An adding circuit adds the servo voltage and the correction voltage together and supplies an added output to the piezoelectric driver. A control circuit controls the correction voltage according to the servo voltage to set the added output to a given reference voltage.

摘要: A scanning tunneling microscope has an STM unit including a probe for scanning the surface of an object. The STM unit has at its outer peripheral surface a cylindrical enclosing member extending towards an object table. When the object is observed, the object table is elevated or the STM unit is lowered, so that the enclosing member is urged upon the table. The table and the STM unit constitute one body. As a result, relative movement between the object and the probe can be prevented, and also influence due to vibration can be prevented. In addition, the enclosing member isolates the object and the probe from the outside space, whereby electric noise, magnetic noise, sound noise and air flow are shielded. Thus, the influence due to external vibration can be reduced, and the stability is enhanced.

摘要: A scanning tunneling microscope includes an observation optical system for optically observing the surface of an object. The optical system is fixed on an optical system fixing member. The optical system is moved in a direction (Z-direction) vertical to the surface of the object by means of a motor, whereby the focal point of the optical system is adjusted. An STM measurement probe supported by an optically transparent member is disposed between the optical system and the object. When the object is optically observed, the probe is displaced from the focal point by means of a micrometer. Thus, an optical observation image of the surface of the object, which is not affected by the shadow of the probe, can be obtained. When the STM measurement is carried out, a probe unit enables the probe to scan the surface of the object, and an STM image is obtained by a conventional method.

摘要: An atomic force microscope comprises a probe having a sharply-pointed tip end. The probe is supported on the free end portion of a cantilever and is close to the surface of a specimen. When an interatomic force is produced, the cantilever is deformed, and the probe is displaced. The displacement of the probe is detected by an optical system. A light beam emitted from a light source is collimated by a lens, and reflected by a polarized beam-splitter, and also by a half-mirror. Then, the light beam passes through a quarter wavelength plate and an objective lens, such that the light is converged on the cantilever. The reflected light beam from the cantilever returns along the same optical path and passes through the splitter. The light beam is divided into two light beams at the splitter. These two light beams are reflected by respective prisms and are then incident on respective photodetectors. These photodetectors detect the displacement of the probe.

摘要: A probe for scanning a sample is attached to a probe electrode supported by a cylindrical piezoelectric actuator. The actuator has four drive electrodes on its periphery, and deforms in the three axial directions in accordance with the voltage applied to the drive electrodes. A girdling electrode is provided between the actuator and the probe electrode. The girdling electrode is insulated from the probe electrode and the drive electrodes by insulator members provided on its upper and lower surfaces. A bias voltage signal S1 is input to an operational amplifier of which the output is connected to the girdling electrode. The amplifier is a voltage follower for equalizing the potential of the girdling electrode to that of the bias voltage signal S1. An operational amplifier has a non-inversion input to which the bias voltage signal S1 is input, and an inversion input connected to the probe electrode. While equalizing the potential of the probe electrode to that of the bias input voltage S1, the amplifier converts a tunnel current flowing between the probe and the sample to a voltage signal S2. An operational amplifier subtracts a bias voltage component from the voltage signal S2, and outputs a tunnel current signal S3.

摘要: A sample is mounted on a piezoelectric actuator and a cantilever provided with a probe is located thereabove. A bias voltage applying circuit supplies the sample with a potential difference V.sub.T and sends out a current signal I.sub.T representing the electric current flowing between the sample and the probe to a current detecting circuit. The current signal is converted into logI.sub.T in a logarithmic amplifier and given to a differential amplifier. A displacement detecting circuit is arranged above the cantilever for detecting the displacement of the free end of the cantilever due to the atomic force appearing between the sample and the probe and for sending a displacement signal Z.sub.TIP representing the displacement to another differential amplifier. The signals from the differential amplifiers are respectively fed to terminals of an analog switch. The analog switch selects a signal to be fed to a control circuit, which control circuit generates and transmits a signal V.sub.Z as a function of the signal it receives, thereby controlling the actuator.
