Popis: | A scanning probe microscope operating in air with interchangeable atomic force-friction force (AFM-FFM) and electronic-tunnelling (STM) heads is presented. Our AFM operates in the so-called contact mode and utilizes the optical-lever detection method which allows simultaneous measurement of the topography as well as the lateral force. The set-up also contains an optical microscope to control both the sample and the probe laser spot on the cantilever. The experimental method to change from AFM to STM operation is based on the use of the probe laser beam and the optical microscope. The maximum scanning area is (24×24) μm2 and it is well embraced in the optical-microscope visual field. The microscope attains atomic resolution in air in both AFM and STM configuration. Its performance is demonstrated on the surface of different samples. |
