Combining the subwavelength resolution of near-field interactions with the optical contrast mechanisms of classical optical microscopy makes scanning near-field optical microscopy an interesting technique for many applications. In spite of more than ten ye ...
The main purpose of this thesis is to explore a new concept of SNOM probes. In order to produce more reliable and reproducible tips, we propose to graft a single gold particle of 60 nm diameter onto the aperture of a SNOM probe. The expected advantage of s ...
Scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM or NSOM) is the technique with the highest lateral optical resolution available today, while infrared (IR) spectroscopy has a high chemical specificity. Combining SNOM with a tunable IR source produces a unique ...
We have studied the photoluminescence properties of GaN quantum dots with submicrometre lateral resolution by means of near-field scanning optical microscopy. The instrument operated at room temperature and was implemented for near-ultra-violet spectroscop ...
The goal of the project is to fabricate ultra sensitive cantilevers for magnetic resonance force microscopy. Such devices have been produced using SOI wafers and a novel fabrication process combining Al encapsulation and HF-vapor release. The realized cant ...
The advent of scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) has augmented at the microscopic level the usefulness of IR spectroscopy. Two-dimensional imaging of chemical constituents makes this a very attractive and powerful new approach. In this paper we ...
The infrared (IR) absorption of a biological system can potentially report on fundamentally important microchemical properties. For example, molecular IR profiles are known to change during increases in metabolic flux, protein phosphorylation, or proteolyt ...
Several approaches are described with the aim of producing near-field optical probes with improved properties. Focused ion beam milling allows the fabrication of small apertures in a controlled fashion, resulting in probes with excellent polarization prope ...
Magnetoconductance across permalloy/InAs(2DES)/permalloy double junctions in the ballistic limit is examined within the transfer-matrix formalism. We take into account Rashba spin–orbit interaction in the semiconductor as well as oblique modes in devices o ...
We have investigated the photoluminescence properties of GaN quantum dots with sub-micron lateral resolution by means of Near-Field Scanning Optical Microscopy (SNOM) operating in illumination mode. The analyzed sample consists of several stacked planes of ...
