Problems solved by technology

However, the existing vibration frequency analysis methods for the probe and sample system for AFM technology widely use spring oscillators to replace the interaction between the probe and the sample, which makes the spring oscillator method extremely dependent on experimental test results, and thus cannot analyze specific material properties ( For example: the influence of elastic constant, dielectric constant, piezoelectric coefficient, etc.) on the frequency signal

Abstract

The invention relates to contact resonance frequency signal analysis of an atomic force microscope, in particular to a finite element simulation method for probe-sample contact resonance. The finite element simulation method for probe-sample contact resonance comprises the following steps: establishing a probe free resonance finite element model, and using an experiment free resonance result to fit and optimize the geometric dimension of a probe; establishing probe-sample contact resonance finite element model, determining the inclination angle of the probe, the contact radius and the sample material attribute. According to the contact resonance finite element modeling method, contact resonance frequency signals of different samples and different types of probes are output by taking an atomic force microscope experiment principle as a requirement, high-order contact resonance frequency is calibrated, vibration modes of different-order resonance are judged, and the influence of different material attributes on resonance frequency drift is quantified; powerful discrimination is provided for interference signals, false signals and noise coverage in an AFM experiment; and meanwhile, guidance of probe design is provided for designers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to frequency signal analysis and application of atomic force microscopy technology, in particular to a contact vibration finite element simulation method of a probe-sample combination and its application. Background technique [0002] Atomic force microscope (AFM) was originally jointly invented by Binning and Quate of the United States and Gerber of Switzerland in 1985. Due to the high resolution imaging capability of AFM, the sample is not limited by conductivity, and can be imaged in various environments, it can not only characterize the surface microscopic morphology of samples, but also characterize the physical properties of materials at the nanometer scale ( Force, electricity, heat, magnetism, light, etc.) and chemical properties, such as surface hardness, surface charge, electric domain and magnetic domain distribution of materials, etc., so AFM is extremely important and widely used in the fields of functional materials,...
