Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of scanning probe microscopes, in particular to a rotary combined scanning probe microscope and a measuring method suitable for extreme environments such as low temperature, vacuum and strong magnetic field. Background Art
[0002] In situ measurements of nanostructures or microscopic objects under extreme experimental conditions such as low temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and ultra-high vacuum are crucial research tools in fields such as physics, materials science, and superconductivity. To achieve these conditions, experimental systems typically consist of cryogenic refrigeration equipment, magnet systems, and vacuum chambers, equipped with multiple layers of thermal insulation, magnetic shielding, and precise sample positioning mechanisms. These systems operate in very limited space, with the small available volume within the chamber significantly restricting the installation and replacement of probes, sensors, and actuators.
[0003] In addition, because the refrigeration and vacuuming processes are time-consuming, the experimental preparation cycle is often measured in days, and the operating costs required for equipment such as liquid helium and superconducting magnets are high. Under such conditions, if probes need to be frequently replaced or measuring instruments need to be switched, not only will multiple heating, vacuuming, and cooling processes be required, extending the experimental time, but it will also easily introduce systematic errors or damage the sample state, increasing the risk of experimental interruption. Therefore, when conducting multimodal, high-resolution measurements in extreme environments, how experimental equipment integrates multiple functions within a limited space and achieves efficient switching of probes or functional units is a key issue in current system design.
[0004] Scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) are essential tools for cutting-edge scientific research and ultra-precision industrial manufacturing. Their multimodal imaging capabilities, such as atomic force microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, and magnetic force microscopy, are widely used at room temperature. However, integrating these multimodal capabilities becomes significantly more challenging under cryogenic vacuum conditions. This is due to the large size of conventional multimodal microscopes, while space is very limited in extreme environments. Furthermore, compatibility with strong magnetic fields and low vacuum temperatures places stringent demands on the design of the SPM structure, material selection, and overall rigidity. Therefore, while SPMs for multimodal imaging at room temperature are relatively common, SPM systems for extreme environments are mostly single-mode. Currently, there is a lack of practical SPM systems that integrate multiple SPM imaging modes for cryogenic vacuum or strong magnetic environments, particularly in areas such as imaging resolution and compatibility with low-temperature, strong magnetic fields.
[0005] In summary, there is an urgent need for a scanning probe combination microscopy imaging tool with a compact structure that can complete multimodal measurements in one sample loading and is suitable for low-temperature vacuum or strong magnetic conditions to meet the urgent needs of advanced material characterization and basic scientific research. Summary of the Invention

Taking into account both the volume limitations and functional integration requirements of extreme environments, the present invention overcomes the difficulties of conventional systems in balancing multiple modalities and the susceptibility of imaging performance to interference.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] The two test modes in the specific embodiment of the rotary combined scanning probe microscope of the present invention are scanning tunneling microscope and atomic force microscope test modes, and the probe used by the atomic force microscope is a piezoresistive probe.
[0029] A rotary combined scanning probe microscope includes an outer frame 100, a first scanning unit 200, a rotary probe switching unit 300, and a second scanning unit 400; the outer frame 100 is a vertically arranged hollow frame structure, and its upper and lower ends are both provided with through holes; the first scanning unit 200 is fixed to the upper end of the inner frame 100, and the rotary probe switching unit 300 is placed at the lower end of the outer frame 100. Figure 1 shown.
[0030] The first scanning unit includes a motor ring 201, a sleeve 202, a first piezoelectric tube 203, a slide bar 204, a first spring sheet 205, and a sample stage 206. The motor ring 201 is fixedly mounted at the upper through hole of the mirror outer frame 100. The upper end of the first piezoelectric tube 203 is fixed on the motor ring 201. The lower end of the first piezoelectric tube 203 is a free end and points to the rotary probe switching unit 300. The sleeve 202 is fixed to the lower end of the first piezoelectric tube 203 and is embedded in the first piezoelectric tube 203. The slide bar 204 is arranged inside the sleeve 202 and is pressed against the inner wall of the sleeve 202 by the first spring sheet 205 arranged between it and the sleeve 202. The lower end of the slide bar 204 is provided with a sample stage 206 for mounting the sample to be tested, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 shown.
[0031] In addition, the electrode structure of the first piezoelectric tube 203 is an integrated inner electrode and an outer electrode divided into four equal parts. The inner electrode is set as the Z-direction electrode, and the two opposite electrodes in the outer electrode are set as the +X-direction electrode and the -X-direction electrode respectively. The other two opposite electrodes are set as the +Y-direction electrode and the -Y-direction electrode respectively.
[0032] The first piezoelectric tube 203, the slide rod 204, the sleeve 202 and the first spring sheet 205 constitute a stick-slip inertial drive mechanism. By applying a sawtooth wave drive signal of a specific frequency to the inner electrode of the first piezoelectric tube 203, such as Figure 7 As shown, during the sudden change in the sawtooth drive signal voltage, the first piezoelectric tube 203 rapidly expands and contracts, driving the sleeve 202 to move rapidly, while the slide bar 204 remains relatively stationary due to inertia, resulting in relative slip. During the slow change in the sawtooth drive signal voltage, the first piezoelectric tube 203 slowly deforms, and the slide bar 204 and sleeve 202 move synchronously due to friction. This "stick-slip" cycle allows for gradual vertical displacement of the slide bar 204, thereby enabling controllable coarse approach between the sample and probe in the combined microscope.
[0033] By applying different control signals to the five electrodes of the first piezoelectric tube 203, scanning motion in the X, Y, and Z axes can be achieved. Specifically, the inner electrode drives displacement in the Z direction; a pair of outer electrodes located in the +X and -X directions controls displacement in the X axis; and a pair of outer electrodes located in the +Y and -Y directions controls displacement in the Y axis. Through this control method, the first scanning unit can perform precise scanning motion in the X, Y, and Z directions, realizing the high-resolution imaging capabilities of the atomic force microscope in the combined microscope.
[0034] The rotary probe switching unit 300 includes a rotating table 304, an end rotating shaft 305, an inverted mounting sleeve 303, a bottom of the rotating table 304, an end rotating shaft 305, a rotating sleeve 309, a shear piezoelectric stack 307, a friction block 306, and a second spring piece 308; the end rotating shaft 305 is provided below the rotating table 304, and the rotating sleeve 309 is fixed in the through hole at the lower end of the mirror outer frame 100 and forms a rotating matching structure with the end rotating shaft 305; the second spring piece 308 is located at the rotating table 304. The sleeve 309 and the end rotating shaft 305 are used to pre-tighten the rotating sleeve 309 and the end rotating shaft 305; the end rotating shaft 305 is limited to only rotating motion; the inverted mounting sleeve 303 is fixed on the rotating table 304 and is coaxial with the rotating table 304; the shear piezoelectric stack 307 is fixed to the bottom of the mirror outer frame 100, and the friction block 306 is fixed to the top of the shear piezoelectric stack 307 and fits with the outer surface of the rotating table 304. There is a hole on the top of the inverted mounting sleeve 303, such as Figure 4 shown.
[0035] The second scanning unit 400 includes a second probe 401, a second probe holder 402, a needle holder 403, and a second piezoelectric tube 404, wherein the bottom of the second piezoelectric tube 404 is fixed on the rotating round table 304, the needle holder 403 is set on the top of the second piezoelectric tube 404, the second probe holder 402 is fixed on the needle holder 403, and the second probe holder 402 passes through the through hole at the top of the inverted mounting sleeve 303, and the second probe holder 402 does not contact the inverted mounting sleeve 303. The second probe is a Pt / Ir wire needle tip, such as Figure 5 As shown; the second scanning unit 400 is surrounded by the inverted mounting sleeve 303 and does not contact the inverted mounting sleeve 303.
[0036] The electrode structure of the second piezoelectric tube 404 consists of a single inner electrode and four equally divided outer electrodes. The inner electrode is designated as the Z-axis electrode, two opposing outer electrodes are designated as the +X-axis electrode and the -X-axis electrode, and the other two opposing electrodes are designated as the +Y-axis electrode and the -Y-axis electrode. By applying different control signals to the five electrodes of the second piezoelectric tube 404, scanning motion in three axes (X, Y, and Z) can be achieved. Specifically, the inner electrode drives Z-axis displacement; a pair of outer electrodes located in the +X and -X directions controls X-axis displacement; and a pair of outer electrodes located in the +Y and -Y directions controls Y-axis displacement. Through this control method, the first scanning unit can perform precise scanning motion in the X, Y, and Z directions, realizing the high-resolution imaging function of the scanning tunneling microscope in the combined microscope.
[0037] This dual scanning unit ensures that the imaging signals of each modality do not interfere with each other during actual measurement.
[0038] The shear piezoelectric stack 307, the friction block 306, the rotating table 304, the second spring sheet 308, the end rotating shaft 305 and the rotating sleeve 309 constitute a stick-slip inertial rotating displacement table; by applying a sawtooth wave driving signal of a specific frequency to the shear piezoelectric stack 307, during the sudden change stage of the sawtooth wave driving signal voltage, the shear piezoelectric stack 307 deforms rapidly instantaneously, driving the friction block 306 to move rapidly, while the rotating table 304, the inverted mounting sleeve 303 and the second scanning unit 400 as a whole remain relatively stationary due to inertia, and the friction block 306 and the rotating table 304 produce relative slip; during the slow change stage of the sawtooth wave driving signal voltage, the shear piezoelectric stack 307 deforms slowly, and the rotating table 304, the inverted mounting sleeve 303 and the second scanning unit 400 as a whole rotate relative to the rotating axis under the action of friction, thereby driving the inverted mounting sleeve 303 and the second scanning unit 400 to rotate synchronously. Through this "stick-slip" cycle process, the rotary probe switching unit 300 can be rotated relative to the axis, such as Figure 6 As shown, the waveform of the sawtooth wave driving signal is as follows Figure 7 shown.
[0039] When the atomic force microscope probe, i.e., the first probe 301, and the scanning tunneling microscope probe, i.e., the second probe 401, are mounted on the first probe oscillating frame 302 and the second probe frame 402, respectively, the first probe 301 and the second probe 401 are adjusted so that they are arranged cocentrically relative to the terminal rotation axis 305 in space, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, during the rotation of the rotary probe switching unit 300, the two probes can be aligned with the positions of the sample to be tested in sequence, which facilitates the realization of multimodal imaging, such as Figure 6 shown.
[0040] The measurement method of the present invention is applicable to a multimodal scanning probe microscopy system integrating an atomic force microscope and a scanning tunneling microscope, and the steps are as follows: 1) After the first probe 301, the second probe 401, and the sample to be tested are installed, the rotary probe switching unit 300 is driven to rotate the first probe 301 to be directly above the sample to be tested, while the second probe 401 is vertically offset from the sample to be tested to prevent the first probe 301 and the second probe 401 from contacting the sample to be tested simultaneously after approaching again.
[0041] 2) Start the first scanning unit 200 and control the sample to move downward in the vertical direction, gradually approaching the first probe 301; stop approaching when the distance between the sample and the first probe 301 reaches a set threshold.
[0042] 3) When the first probe 301 is in stable contact or near-field coupling state with the sample, the atomic force microscope imaging mode is executed until the measurement task is completed.
[0043] 4) The first scanning unit 200 is driven to move the sample upward until the first probe 301 and the second probe 401 are both at a safe distance from the sample to ensure a non-contact state.
[0044] 5) The rotary probe switching unit 300 is driven again to rotate the second probe 401 to above the sample, while the first probe 301 is moved away in the vertical direction to ensure spatial dislocation.
[0045] 6) Start the first scanning unit 200 to slowly move the sample closer to the second probe 401 in the vertical direction; through tunnel current feedback control, when the tunnel current reaches a set value, stop the sample movement.
[0046] 7) Execute the scanning tunneling microscope imaging mode until the measurement process is completed.
[0047] 8) Drive the first scanning unit 200 to control the sample to move vertically upward until the sample is at a safe distance from the first probe 301 and the second probe 401, completing the entire multimodal measurement process.
[0048] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
