Cantilever's behavior in the AC mode of an AFM

In this paper, a model with a small number of parameters is used to simulate the motion of a cantilever in the AC mode of an atomic force microscope (AFM). The results elucidate the transition dependence—from noncontact to tapping operating mode—on the height of the contamination layer and on the st...

Zusammenfassung:In this paper, a model with a small number of parameters is used to simulate the motion of a cantilever in the AC mode of an atomic force microscope (AFM). The results elucidate the transition dependence—from noncontact to tapping operating mode—on the height of the contamination layer and on the stiffness of the sample.
