Status and trends in high performance magnetic imaging using Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM)

2016-11-30
A novel method for excitation of Atomic Force Microscope(AFM) cantilevers by means of radiation pressure for imaging has been developed for the first time. Piezo excitation is the most common method for cantilever excitation. However, it has quite a few drawbacks like causing spurious resonance peaks and non-ideal Lorentzian curves. The force exerted by the radiation pressure is quite weak but sufficient to excite the cantilever to tens of nanometers for imaging in vacuum, as the Q increases to few thousands. An amplitude modulated fiber coupled 1.31µm laser is used to excite the cantilever at its resonance and detect the position for MFM imaging as shown in Fig.2.

Non-contact atomic force microscope (ncafm) operation in uhv using radiation pressure excitation of cantilever
Uysallı, Yiğit; Turan, Raşit; Yerci, Selçuk; Department of Physics (2016)
In this work a new method for excitation of Non-Contact Atomic Force Microscope (NCAFM) cantilevers by means of radiation pressure was developed and applied for NCAFM imaging for the first time in the world. Piezo excitation is the most common method of cantilever excitation in AFM devices. However, it has few drawbacks, sometimes spurious resonance peaks and non-ideal Lorentzian curves can be observed. Radiation pressure has earlier been used for calibration of AFM cantilevers but has never been used for i...
Radiation pressure excitation of a low temperature atomic force/magnetic force microscope for imaging in 4-300 K temperature range

We describe a novel radiation pressure based cantilever excitation method for imaging in dynamic mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) for the first time. Piezo-excitation is the most common method for cantilever excitation, however it may cause spurious resonance peaks. Therefore, the direct excitation of the cantilever plays a crucial role in AFM imaging. A fiber optic interferometer with a 1310 nm laser was used both for the excitation of the cantilever at the resonance and the deflection measurement of the...
Non-contact atomic force microscope in ultra high vacuum using radiation pressure excitation of cantilever with Fabry-Perot interferometer
Karagöz, Ercan; Oral, Ahmet; Department of Physics (2017)
In this study Non-Contact Atomic Force Microscope (NC-AFM) imaging was performed by excitation of the cantilever via radiation pressure in a custom Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) system. Both the excitation of the cantilever and the measurement of the deflection of the cantilever were done by employing a fiber Fabry-Pérot interferometer obtained by a TiO2 coating of the fiber end. This coating allows for a several times higher interference slope. The second normal mode of the cantilever oscillation, along with the...
New technique for high resolution absolute conductivity imaging using magnetic resonance-electrical impedance tomography (MR-EIT)
Birgul, O; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Ider, YZ (2001-02-22)
A novel MR-EIT imaging modality has been developed to reconstruct high-resolution conductivity images with true conductivity value. In this new technique, electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques are simultaneously used. Peripheral voltages are measured using EIT and magnetic flux density measurements are determined using MRI. The image reconstruction algorithm used is an iterative one, based on minimizing the difference between two current density distributions ...
Time-Domain Characterization of the Radiation Pattern of the Terahertz Photoconductive Antennas
Elmabruk, Kholoud; Demir, Kazim; Altan, Hakan; Sahin, Asaf Behzat; ÜNLÜ, MEHMET (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-06-01)
We present a novel method to characterize the radiation pattern of the terahertz photoconductive antennas in time-domain. The method uses a modified version of the terahertz time-domain spectroscopy system, where we use the basics of physical optics and the optical path compensation principle using the delay line in the system in order to detect the spatial distribution of the terahertz radiation of the photoconductive antennas in two major planes. Using this method, we investigate two terahertz photoconduc...
