Embodiment Construction

[0026] The cantilever provides the 1st mechanical resonance f 0 ( figure 1 ) in the gravitational mode (attractive mode) AFM of vibration 7 microscope. f 0 Changes in the oscillation amplitude detect the van der Waal (van der Waal) gravitational force between the tip and the object, and can also use and obtain topography feedback signals. In the traditional tapping (tapping) mode AFM, the AFM detector is firmly on the object. Using a stiffness constant with k=3n / m and f 0 = 65KHz of the 1st mechanical resonance of the cantilever. choose f m f = 360KHz laser modulation frequency is detected 0 +f m The frequency in the upper sideband is 425KHz.

[0027] Different from traditional methods, in changing the frequency f of the force gradient between object features m Excitation / laser beam (energy source) in and changing f m mirror image in . This force gradient modulation follows from f 0 +f m and f 0 -f m Frequency-sequential modulation of cantilever mechanical reso...

Abstract

A new method in microscopy is provided which extends the domain of AFM's to nanoscale spectroscopy. Molecular resonance of nanometer features can be detected and imaged purely by mechanical detection of the force gradient between the interaction of the optically driven molecular dipole / multipole and its mirror image in a Platinum coated scanning probe tip. The method is extendable to obtain nanoscale spectroscopic information ranging from infrared to UV and RF.
