In non-contact atomic force microscopy mode, the tip of the cantilever does not contact the sample surface. The cantilever is instead oscillated at either its resonant frequency (frequency modulation) or just above (amplitude modulation) where the amplitude of oscillation is typically a few nanometers (<10 nm) down to a few picometers.

Topographic (left) and current (right) maps collected with CAFM on a polycrystalline HfO 2 stack. The images show very good spatial correlation. In microscopy, conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) or current sensing atomic force microscopy (CS-AFM) is a mode in atomic force microscopy (AFM) that simultaneously measures the topography of a material and the electric current flow at the ...
Non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM), also known as dynamic force microscopy (DFM), is a mode of atomic force microscopy, which itself is a type of scanning probe microscopy. In nc-AFM a sharp probe is moved close (order of Angstroms ) to the surface under study, the probe is then raster scanned across the surface, the image is then ...
In a bimodal AM-FM configuration, two feedback loops act on the 2nd mode. One keeps A 2 {\displaystyle A_{2}} fixed while a phase-lock loop keeps ϕ 2 = 90 o {\displaystyle \phi _{2}=90^{o}} . Bimodal Atomic Force Microscopy (bimodal AFM) is an advanced atomic force microscopy technique characterized by generating high-spatial resolution maps ...
Atomic force microscope inside a FTIR spectrometer with the optical interface. The earliest measurements combining AFM with infrared spectroscopy were performed in 1999 by Hammiche et al. at the University of Lancaster in the United Kingdom, [1] in an EPSRC-funded project led by M Reading and H M Pollock.
MFM images of 3.2 Gb and 30 Gb computer hard-drive surfaces. Comparison of Faraday-effect image (left) and MFM image (inset, lower-right) of a magnetic film. Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) is a variety of atomic force microscopy, in which a sharp magnetized tip scans a magnetic sample; the tip-sample magnetic interactions are detected and used to reconstruct the magnetic structure of the ...
Scheme of the colloidal probe technique for direct force measurements in the sphere-plane and sphere-sphere geometries. The colloidal probe technique is commonly used to measure interaction forces acting between colloidal particles and/or planar surfaces in air or in solution. This technique relies on the use of an atomic force microscope (AFM).
Conductive atomic force microscopy (c-AFM) is one such modification technique. The c-AFM technique operates by measuring fluctuations in current from the biased tip and sample while simultaneously measuring changes in the topographical features. [12] In all techniques of AFM, two modes of operation can be used: contact mode and non-contact mode ...
