The instrumentation involved for pc-AFM is very similar to that necessary for traditional AFM or the modified conductive AFM. The main difference between pc-AFM and other types of AFM instruments is the illumination source that is focused through the inverted microscope objective and the neutral density filter that is positioned adjacent to the illumination source.
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 ...
In 1986, the same year as the AFM was invented, a new piezoelectric scanner, the tube scanner, was developed for use in STM. [42] Later tube scanners were incorporated into AFMs. The tube scanner can move the sample in the x , y , and z directions using a single tube piezo with a single interior contact and four external contacts.
nc-AFM was the first form of AFM to achieve true atomic resolution images, rather than averaging over multiple contacts, both on non-reactive and reactive surfaces. [ 32 ] nc-AFM was the first form of microscopy to achieve subatomic resolution images, initially on tip atoms [ 42 ] and later on single iron adatoms on copper.
A 1986 STM from the collection of Musée d'histoire des sciences de la Ville de Genève A large STM setup at the London Centre for Nanotechnology. The main components of a scanning tunneling microscope are the scanning tip, piezoelectrically controlled height (z axis) and lateral (x and y axes) scanner, and coarse sample-to-tip approach ...
Mechanism of how density of states influence V-A spectra of tunnel junction. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy is an experimental technique which uses a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to probe the local density of electronic states (LDOS) and the band gap of surfaces and materials on surfaces at the atomic scale.

After the first multi-tip STM was introduced, [2] several home-built instruments were designed and today, several commercial instruments are available as well. An extension of the multi-tip STM technique is the upgrade to atomic force microscopy (AFM) operation. For applications in nanoelectronics, most of the samples consist of conducting ...
Gwyddion is a multiplatform modular free software for visualization and analysis of data from scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques (like AFM, MFM, STM, SNOM/NSOM). [1] The project is led by its main developers David Nečas (Yeti) and Petr Klapetek who work together with several various developers across the world.
