Problems solved by technology

If a conventional amplifier is used, it obviously cannot work, because it amplifies the signal and noise at the same time
Acoustic imaging on an AFM is therefore not possible
How to detect useful signals on the interference background is the key to realize the acoustic imaging mode on the atomic force microscope. In order to solve the above problems, we propose a weak signal detector for acoustic imaging based on the atomic force microscope. At present, there is no such aspect at home and abroad. report

Embodiment 1

[0031] Application of atomic force microscope acoustic imaging system to test PMN-PT artificial lens material, Figure 6The results of the test are shown. Among them, the picture (a) is the topographic AFM image of the sample, which is the original function of the atomic force microscope. The picture (b) is the SPAM image reflecting the internal structure of the sample in situ by the built-up acoustic imaging system. Obviously, there is a big difference between (a) and (b), and (b) clearly presents the internal unique domain structure of the sample. The orientation and size of the fingerprint-like domains all carry the intrinsic information of the properties of the sample.

Embodiment 2

[0033] The acoustic imaging system of atomic force microscope was used to test the semiconductor ZnO ceramic material. Figure 7 The results of the test are shown. Similar to the above example 1, the picture (a) is the topographic image of the tested sample, and the picture (b) is the acoustic image reflecting the subsurface of the sample. The clear internal structure of the sample shown in Figure (b) is extremely useful for the study of material properties.

Embodiment 3

[0035] The PZT thick film material was tested by the acoustic imaging system of the atomic force microscope. Figure 8 for the test results. Similar to Example 1 above, (a) is the topographic image of the sample, and (b) is the acoustic image reflecting the internal structure of the sample. The grain boundary of the sample shown in (b) is clearer than that in (a). And that's what the Materials Research Institute is looking at.

[0036] The above example shows that the acoustic imaging system constructed by applying the instrument of the present invention on the atomic force microscope expands the function of microscopic imaging of the internal structure of the sample. It has become an important tool for the current development of nanotechnology, and promotes various in-depth research on materials.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a weak signal detector for acoustic imaging based on an atomic force microscope, which is used in the acoustic imaging system of the atomic force microscope and belongs to the field of signal detection instruments. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of nanotechnology, materials and devices with important application value in many high-tech fields are becoming increasingly miniaturized and integrated in the direction of nanoscale. The properties and behaviors of materials and devices at the nanoscale are not only related to their surface structure, but also closely related to their subsurface structure and performance. To this end, the development of acoustic imaging technology based on commercial atomic force microscopes can solve the problem of in-situ surface and subsurface imaging of samples, thereby promoting the development of nanomaterials and devices. This is currently a hot spot in the field of nan...
