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…
Nonlinear Dynamic Behavior of an Oscillating Tip-Microlever System and Contrast at the Atomic Scale
Jean-Pierre Aimé, Rodolphe Boisgard, Laurent Nony +1
In this paper the dynamic behavior of an oscillating tip-microlever system at the proximity of a surface is discussed. We show that the nonlinear behavior of the oscillator is able…
Influence of noncontact dissipation in the tapping mode: Attempt to extract quantitative information on the surface properties with the local force probe method
Jean-Pierre Aimé, Rodolphe Boisgard, Laurent Nony +1
In the Tapping mode, a variation of the oscillation amplitude and phase as a function of the tip sample distance is the necessary measurement to access quantitatively to the proper…
Stability of an oscillating tip in Non-Contact Atomic Force Microscopy: theoretical and numerical investigations
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 Non-Contact Atomic Force Microscopy (NC-AFM) when it oscillates close…
