Efficiency improvement in the cantilever photothermal excitation method using a photothermal conversion layer [PDF]
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2016 Photothermal excitation is a cantilever excitation method that enables stable and accurate operation for dynamic-mode AFM measurements. However, the low excitation efficiency of the method has often limited its application in practical studies. In this study, we propose a method for improving the photothermal excitation efficiency by coating cantilever
