Modeling electric field sensitive scanning probe measurements for a tip of arbitrary shape

arXiv:cond-mat/0309667

Abstract

We present a numerical method to model electric field sensitive scanning probe microscopy measurements which allows for a tip of arbtrary shape and invokes image charges to exactly account for a sample dielectric overlayer. The method is applied to calculate the spatial resolution of a subsurface charge accumulation imaging system, achieving reasonable agreement with experiment.
