Gap-Plasmon-Enhanced High-Spatial-Resolution Imaging by Photothermal-Induced Resonance in the Visible Range

Giovanni Dietler, Serguei Sekatski, Anton Smirnov, Jiangtao Zhou

Chemical characterization at the nanoscale is of significant importance for many applications in physics, analytical chemistry, material science, and biology. Despite the intensive studies in the infrared range, high-spatial resolution and high-sensitivity ...

Scanning near-field optical microscopy with new probes and feedback modes

Anton Smirnov

Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) technique enables to overcome Abbe diffraction limit of far-field optics as well as to obtain simultaneously optical and topographical images. While the optical resolution of the method is limited by the apertu ...

Chemically etched plastic optical fiber probe for near-field scanning optical microscopy in liquids

Giovanni Dietler, Serguei Sekatski, Anton Smirnov, Kanat Dukenbayev

Some preliminary results and experimental details of Near-field Scanning Optical Microscopy (NSOM) operation in liquids have been reported by us earlier(1-4). Here we present the first use of custom made polystyrene/poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) optica ...

Nontrivial evolution of the Sb(111) electronic and atomic structure after ion irradiation

Anton Smirnov

Defects in crystal structure of layered material can modify the surface states. Ion bombardment is a simple way to introduce defects into a crystal lattice in the surface region. Comprehensive scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low-energy electron diffra ...

Long-life plastic optical fiber probes for scanning near-field optical microscope

Giovanni Dietler, Serguei Sekatski, Anton Smirnov, Ekaterina Rostova

Nowadays, sharpened glass fiber - made probes attached to a quartz tuning fork (TF) and exploiting the shear force - based feedback are by far the most popular in the field of SNOM. These probes are expensive, very fragile and their fabrication is difficul ...
