Multimode Q Control in Tapping-Mode AFM: Enabling Imaging on Higher Flexural Eigenmodes. |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Numerous dynamic atomic force micros- copy (AFM) methods have appeared in recent years, which make use of the excitation and detection of higher order eigenmodes of the microcantilever. The ability to control these modes and their responses to excitation is believed to be the key to unraveling the true potential of these methods. In this paper, we highlight a multimode Q control method that exhibits remarkable damping performance and stability robustness. The experimental results obtained in ambient conditions demonstrate improved imaging stability by damping nondriven resonant modes when scanning is performed at a higher eigenmode of the cantilever. Higher scan speeds are shown to result from a decrease in transient response time. |
