Journal ArticleDOI

Inverting dynamic force microscopy: from signals to time-resolved interaction forces.

TL;DR: Force measurements on silicon under ambient conditions demonstrate the distinct signature of the interaction and reveal that peak forces exceeding 200 nN are applied to the sample in a typical imaging situation, 2 orders of magnitude higher than those in covalent bonds.
Journal ArticleDOI

From Images to Interactions: High-Resolution Phase Imaging in Tapping-Mode Atomic Force Microscopy

TL;DR: In tapping-mode atomic force microscopy, the phase shift between excitation and response of the cantilever is used as a material-dependent signal complementary to topography, and the phase signal is found to correlate with modulations of the tip oscillation amplitude, induced by topography.
Journal ArticleDOI

State-space model of freely vibrating and surface-coupled cantilever dynamics in atomic force microscopy

TL;DR: In this article, the dynamics of the microcantilever in atomic force microscopy (AFM) is represented by a multiple-degrees-of-freedom state-space model and discussed within the framework of system theory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spectroscopy of the anharmonic cantilever oscillations in tapping-mode atomic-force microscopy

TL;DR: By spectroscopic analysis of the cantilever oscillation in tapping-mode atomic-force microscopy (TM-AFM), the authors showed that the transition from an oscillatory state dominated by a net attractive force to the state dominated with repulsive interaction is accompanied by the enhanced generation of higher harmonics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chaos in dynamic atomic force microscopy.

TL;DR: In tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) the highly nonlinear tip-sample interaction gives rise to a complicated dynamics of the microcantilever, which reveals period-3, period-2 and period-4 behaviour, as well as a weakly chaotic regime.
