Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of atomic force microscopes, in particular to a real-time adjustment method for the stiffness of a probe of an atomic force microscope. Background technique
[0002] The atomic force microscope uses a special tiny probe to scan the surface of the sample material in the left and right and front and rear directions, and uses the scanner's ability to fine-tune in the vertical direction to keep the force between the probe and the material surface constant during the scanning process. The vertical fine-tuning distance of each point during the scanning process is recorded, and the three-dimensional topography of the material surface can be characterized.
[0003] At the same time, the atomic force microscope presses the probe tip into and out of the material surface, obtains the force-displacement curve through the sensor, and calculates the curve to obtain the Young's modulus and hardness of the measured material...
