This paper proposes a tapping mode scanning sample type Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) equipped with a CD/DVD pick-up-head (PUH) used to measure the deflection of the cantilever beam of the probe in the liquid. To start with, we build an adaptive Quality-Factor-controller (Q-controller) to modulate the interaction force between the tip and the sample. To implement the above systems, we have designed a novel AFM mechanism and proposed an adaptive sliding-mode controller for it. For testing the system capability and analyzing the biomorphic change of the sample in liquid, we have conducted a series of experiments, and the results can help us to understand more about the mechanism of the sample in liquid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
