Problems solved by technology

The common nano-etching methods based on atomic force microscopy mainly include: (1) nano-scratch method; using the traditional contact mode, the needle tip is always in contact with the sample surface, and the scanning tube is moved to modify or remove the local sample surface to obtain any Nanostructure; its disadvantage is that it is in direct contact with the sample, and a transverse shear force will be generated during the scanning process, which will cause damage to the sample surface and the probe
(2) AFM electroetching method; its principle is to realize AFM etching by constructing a nanoscale electric field between the tip of the AFM probe and the local sample surface, including the following two types of mechanisms: one is the electrochemical mechanism, and the probe The voltage between the needle and the sample is sufficient to cause electrochemical / chemical corrosion, forming oxidation products to modify the local sample surface; the other is based on an electrophysical process, in which a discharge occurs in the nano-gap between the probe and the sample, and there may be an electric shock wear phenomenon, thereby removing or modifying the sample surface; this method is limited by the conductivity of the sample surface, and its application on the surface of insulators and semiconductors is limited
[0004] However, there is no report on AFM-based peak force tapping mode as a means of characterizing the stability of nanomaterials.
