qPlus Magnetic Force Microscopy in Frequency-Modulation Mode with milli-Hertz Resolution [PDF]
Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) allows one to image the domain structure of ferromagnetic samples by probing the dipole forces between a magnetic probe tip and a magnetic sample. The magnetic domain structure of the sample depends on the atomic arrangement of individual electron spins.

Atomic Force Microscopy: An Introduction
Imaging of nano-sized particles and sample features is crucial in a variety of research fields. For instance in biological sciences, where it is paramount to investigate structures at the single particle level. Often two-dimensional images are not sufficient and further information such as topography and mechanical properties are required. Furthermore,

Limit of Temporal Resolution in Atomic Force Microscopy: How fast can we image with atomically-engineered tips while preserving picometer range spatial resolution? [PDF]
With recent advances in dynamic scanning probe microscopy techniques, it is now a routine to image the sub-molecular structure of molecules with atomically-engineered tips which are prepared via controlled modification of the tip termination and are chemically well-defined.

Local spectroscopy and atomic imaging of tunneling current, forces and dissipation on graphite [PDF]
Theory predicts that the currents in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and the attractive forces measured in atomic force microscopy (AFM) are directly related. Atomic images obtained in an attractive AFM mode should therefore be redundant because they

Crosstalk Correction in Atomic Force Microscopy
Commercial atomic force microscopes usually use a four-segmented photodiode to detect the motion of the cantilever via laser beam deflection. This read-out technique enables to measure bending and torsion of the cantilever separately.

Mechanical-Diode based Ultrasonic Atomic Force Microscopies [PDF]
Recent advances in mechanical-diode based ultrasonic force microscopy techniques are reviewed. The potential of Ultrasonic Force Microscopy (UFM) for the study of material elastic properties is explained in detail. Advantages of the application of UFM in nanofabrication are discussed.

Harnessing bifurcations in tapping-mode atomic force microscopy to calibrate time-varying tip-sample force measurements [PDF]
Torsional harmonic cantilevers allow measurement of time varying tip-sample forces in tapping-mode atomic force microscopy. Accuracy of these force measurements is important for quantitative nanomechanical measurements. Here we demonstrate a method to convert the torsional deflection signals into a calibrated force waveform with the use of non-linear ...
