AFM Icon-Pt 1: Acceptance tests done

Noise tests

Sensor noise

Tappingmode, OTESPA-R3 probe used.
First we made a false engage (scanning in air): Turn off gain 0 0
Z range 0.2my
Scan size 0.01nm
We saw some 50Hz noise (electrical - or maybe pumps): Rq 15 pm (specs 35pm)


System noise

Noise on sample: scan size 0.1nm
we started with 1my scan size to optimize the scan.
2.43Hz
256 lines
Z range at 2my to get sub nanometer resolution in Z
Rq: 54,5pm (plade vibrator koerte udenfor)
Rq: 23pm uden vibrator koerende + ro og med aaben hood.
Rq:71pm uden vibrator koerende + ro og med lukket hood


Roughness

HAR: 200nm wide 400nm deep

HAR: 2µm wide 6µm deep

Graphene KPFM measurement


Height image: The graphene and structuring in graphene is not visible
Potential image: Potential difference between grapheme and non-graphene is visible
Phase: Phase imaging maps the phase lag between the periodic signal driving the cantilever and the oscillations of the cantilever. Changes in phase lag often indicate changes in the properties of the sample surface. Here the structuring in the graphene is very clear
