Electrostatically actuated encased cantilevers [PDF]

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2018
Background: Encased cantilevers are novel force sensors that overcome major limitations of liquid scanning probe microscopy. By trapping air inside an encasement around the cantilever, they provide low damping and maintain high resonance frequencies for exquisitely low tip–sample interaction forces even when immersed in a viscous fluid.
