Observation of individual molecules trapped on a nanostructured insulator
Laurent Nony, Enrico Dr. Gnecco, Alexis Baratoff +7
For the first time, ordered polar molecules confined in monolayer-deep rectangular pits produced on an alkali halide surface by electron irradiation have been resolved at room temp…
Distance dependence of force and dissipation in non-contact atomic force microscopy on Cu(100) and Al(111)
Oliver Pfeiffer, Laurent Nony, Roland Bennewitz +2
The dynamic characteristics of a tip oscillating in the nc-AFM mode in close vicinity to a Cu(100)-surface are investigated by means of phase variation experiments in the constant…
Cu-TBPP and PTCDA molecules on insulating surfaces studied by ultra-high-vacuum non-contact AFM
Laurent Nony, Roland Prof. Bennewitz, Oliver Dr. Pfeiffer +6
The adsorption of two kinds of porphyrin (Cu-TBPP) and perylene (PTCDA) derived organic molecules deposited on KBr and Al2O3 surfaces has been studied by non-contact force microsco…
Non-contact atomic force microscopy: Stability criterion and dynamical responses of the shift of frequency and damping signal
Gérard Couturier, Rodolphe Boisgard, Laurent Nony +1
The aim of this article is to provide a complete analysis of the behavior of a noncontact atomic force microscope (NC-AFM). We start with a review of the equations of motion of a t…
Stability analysis of an oscillating tip-cantilever system in NC-AFM
Gérard Couturier, Laurent Nony, Rodolphe Boisgard +1
This paper is a theoretical and a numerical investigation of the stability of a tip-cantilever system used in noncontact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) when it oscillates close t…
Relationship between the non linear dynamic behaviour of an oscillating tip-microlever system and the contrast at the atomic scale
Jean-Pierre Aimé, Gérard Couturier, Rodolphe Boisgard +1
In this paper, the dynamic behaviour of an oscillating tip-microlever system at the proximity of a surface is discussed. The attractive tip-surface interaction is simply described…
