A heterodyne laser Doppler interferometer operating up to 100 MHz with an optical vibration excitation function was implemented to enable frequency detection of nanocantilevers. By using the stimulant of a network analyzer to sweep the modulation frequency ...
A novel probe based on a commercial quartz tuning fork and a microfabricated cantilever is presented. The U-shaped cantilever with a monolithic tip is combined with the tuning fork in a symmetrical arrangement, such that each of the two legs of the cantile ...
A quartz tuning-fork (TF)-based scanning probe is presented for local electrical transport measurements on quantum devices below the liquid 4He temperature. The TF is utilized to drive and sense the mechanical oscillation of an attached, microfabricated ca ...
The general idea of Nanotechnology is not new – it has been studied since Nobel laureate Richard Feynman outlined the idea in a speech in 1959 – but it's only recently that the progress carried out in the various fields of material, optic, physic and engin ...
Here we present a scanning probe microscopy method that allows for the identification of regions of different polarity (i.e. hydrophilicity) in thin organic films. This technique is based on the analysis of the difference between phase images generated at ...
We present an automation technique for the growth of electron beam deposited tips on whole wafers of atomic force microscope cantilevers. This technique uses pattern recognition on scanning electron microscope images of successive magnifications to precise ...
This thesis further explores the possibilities of scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) in both materials and life sciences. Two experimental SNOM setups were developed: one designed for infrared spectroscopy applications and the other for the imag ...
We present theoretical and experimental results on switching and tuning of a two-dimensional photonic crystal resonant microcavity by means of a silicon AFM tip, probing the highly localized optical field in the vicinity of the cavity. On-off switching and ...
Employing higher oscillation modes of microcantilevers promises higher sensitivity when applied as sensors, for example, for mass detection or in atomic force microscopy. Introducing a special cantilever geometry, we show that the relation between the reso ...
We present a unique probe that is based on a quartz tuning fork and a microfabricated cantilever. The probe is self-actuating and self-sensing. The cantilever can be tailored to the needs of specific applications, in this case to feature an electrically co ...
