Hidden Information in Force Curves: Transient- and Brownian-Driven Dynamics

Sergio Santos, Roger Proksch

Force distance curves (FCs) are direct probes of tip sample interactions in atomic force microscopy, but their dynamic content is often suppressed by filtering, averaging and quasi…

Drops on architected elastic substrates: A repertoire of regimes at the turn of a knob

Sergio Santos, Zakari Kujala, Sungyon Lee +1

Drops on a vibrating substrate can experience a variety of motion regimes, including directional motion and climbing. The key ingredient to elicit these regimes is simultaneously a…

Advances in dynamic AFM: from nanoscale energy dissipation to material properties in the nanoscale

Sergio Santos, Karim Gadelrab, Chia-Yun Lai +5

Since the inception of the atomic force microscope AFM, dynamic methods have been very fruitful by establishing methods to quantify dissipative and conservative forces in the nanos…

Wearing a single DNA molecule with an AFM tip

Sergio Santos, Victor Barcons, Josep Font +1

While the fundamental limit on the resolution achieved in an atomic force microscope (AFM) is clearly related to the tip radius, the fact that the tip can creep and/or wear during…

Anharmonicity in multifrequency atomic force microscopy

Sergio Santos, Victor Barcons

In multifrequency atomic force microscopy higher eigenmodes are externally excited to enhance resolution and contrast while simultaneously increasing the number of experimental obs…

Theory of small amplitude bimodal atomic force microscopy in ambient conditions

Sergio Santos

Small oscillation amplitudes in dynamic atomic force microscopy can lead to invasive and high resolution imaging. Here we discuss small oscillation amplitude imaging in the context…
