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…
Growth kinetics of a nanoprotuberance under the action of an oscillating nanotip
Jean-Pierre Aimé, Denis Michel, Rodolphe Boisgard +1
The atomic force microscope is a versatile tool that allows many routes to be used for investigating the mechanical properties of soft materials on the nanometer scale. In the pres…
Nonlinear dynamical properties of an oscillating tip-cantilever system in the tapping mode
Laurent Nony, Rodolphe Boisgard, Jean-Pierre Aimé
The dynamical properties of an oscillating tip-cantilever system are now widely used in the field of scanning force microscopy. The aim of the present work is to get analytical exp…
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…

DNA properties investigated by dynamic force microscopy
Laurent Nony, Rodolphe Boisgard, Jean-Pierre Aimé
In this work, we show that by varying the experimental conditions, the driving amplitude, a dynamic force microscope allows DNA properties to be selectively imaged. The substrate o…
