NANOSENSORS Electron-beam lithography of nanostructures at the tips of scanning probe cantilevers - news

Electron-beam lithography of nanostructures at the tips of scanning probe cantileversFri Feb 16 2024

It is always exiting to see what our creative and innovative users are doing with our AFM probes.
In their article “Electron-beam lithography of nanostructures at the tips of scanning probe cantilevers” L. Forrer, A. Kamber, A. Knoll, M. Poggio and F. R. Braakman describe how they developed a process to fabricate nanoscale metallic gate electrodes on scanning probe cantilevers. *
They even patterned the very fragile tip of the NANOSENSORS AdvancedTEC ATEC-NC with a gate array defined through the etching process. *
Their method allows the patterning of nanoscale devices on fragile scanning probes, extending their functionality as sensors. *
Please have a look at the NANOSENSORS blog for the full citation and a direct link to the full article.

Lock-in Amplifier Based Peak Force Infrared Microscopy
“[T]he current PFIR microscope requires customized hardware configuration and software programming for real-time signal acquisition and processing, which creates a high barrier to PFIR implementation. In this communication, we describe a type of lock-in amplifier-based PFIR microscopy that can be assembled with generic, commercially available equipment without special hardware or software programming.”
The measurements in PeakForce Infrared Microscopy mode are performed using our platinum coated HQ:NSC15/Pt AFM probes.

Imaging of nanoscale charge dynamics demonstrated with BudgetSensors Multi75-G AFM probesThu Nov 09 2023

Researchers at the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences, Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a novel high-speed sparse scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy (SS-KPFM) technique which allows sub-second imaging of nanoscale charge dynamics demonstrated with BudgetSensors Multi75-G AFM probes. Measurements on BudgetSensors KPFM & EFM Sample reveal improvement in resolution over classical amplitude modulated KPFM.

NANOSENSORS Happy Halloween - news

Happy HalloweenTue Oct 31 2023

Do you remember our 30th anniversary when we gave away the free NANOSENSORS #fungratings?
#Halloween is here again and it is time to let the creepy, crawly creatures, monsters and others escape from the NANOSENSORS fun grating in the lab again.
Our Jack O’Lanterns are two examples. There are many more to discover.
Share with us what you’ve discovered while scanning your fun grating with your #atomicforcemicroscope.
Happy Halloween!
