Dear Mariam, How stiff (ballpark) is your ceramic sample? When you say the roughness is 0.5-2um what is the scan size that gives you that roughness? If you want to measure the modulus of a stiff sample, you must use a stiff cantilever. Question 1 will allow you to look in the manual and find the recommended...

You should choose a cantilever that is sensitive as possible, but does not cause the deflection measurement to saturate or become non-linear. The force is the spring constant times the deflection sensitivity times the detector voltage (F=K*Sd*V). If we know K for a given probe type and we know the approximate...

Innovation with Integrity Proprietary High-Contrast Probe Tips on Innova-IRIS AFM Enable First Complete Commercial TERS Solution April 2013 The single biggest issue preventing further adoption of the powerful Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS) technique is the lack of available high-performance probes...

No, there is no tip coating on OTESPA probes. The Al coating is backside only for better reflectivity. MESP or SCM-PIT probes are commonly used for KPFM. If you like the visible apex tip feature of the OTESPA probes, then you might also check out the OSCM-PT probes. Details for each can be found at Bruker...

Hi Mithun, Having the EFM HOLDER AND SCM-PIT tips are enough for you to perform surface potential on Multimode; you do not need to apply voltage externally. Surface potential measurement has been done on organic solar cell (BHJ) and its component materials; make sure you electrically connect the underlying...

Hi Sheila, The probe is critical for surface potential measurements, it is required to have a well defined work function and be robust. SCM-PIT probe from Bruker has a Pt-Ir coating which meets these criteria. Also Rocky Mountain Nanotech offers solid Pt probes (25Pt300B) which has the advantage that...

SNL-10 probes should work fine for imaging photoresist in contact mode or for doing adhesion maps in force volume mode. It is likely that the photoresist is too stiff to get good elasticity information with those probes, however. You should give it a try, but I suspect you will not have much deformation...

Good Evening Harry - Our FIB probes are conical with a very sharp end radius similar to that of a TESP. The specification on these probes is based on the width of the spike at a defined height up from the probe apex. In your case, the FIB1-100 is 100nm wide 1 um up from the probe apex, as another example...

Tony, I don’t think you should have any problem using these probes, and the operation should not change. A key feature of ScanAsyst is its exceptional force control when compared to other modes, and we have found that this force control enables much higher resolution when imaging because tip sharpness...
