Dynamic analysis of tapping-mode AFM considering capillary force interactions

Abstract: The Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) scans the topography of a sample surface using a microsized flexible cantilever. In tapping-mode AFM, the tip-surface interactions are strongly nonlinear, rapidly changing and hysteretic. This paper explores, numerically, a flexible beam model that includes attractive, adhesive and repulsive contributions, as well as the interaction of the capillary fluid layers that cover both the tip and the sample in ambient conditions common in experiments. Forward-time simulation has been… Show more

“…When vibration is introduced to the cantilever, first proposed by Binning, Quate, and Gerber (), effect of force gradients influences its frequency shift (Martin, Williams, & Wickramasinghe, ; Meyer & Amer, ) and gives the option of noncontact scanning measurement. When the vibrating tip touches the sample, it is affected by adhesive, repulsive, and even capillary forces to some extent (Korayem, Kavousi, & Ebrahimi, ). The sample–tip interaction results then in change of both frequency and phase shift as well.…”

“…Also, external forces include the forces between the MC tip and the sample surface and also effective environmental forces. And the forces between the MC tip and the sample surface (F ts ), include van der Waals, capillary and contact repulsive forces [18]. Using the Hamilton principle, the equation of MC vibration motion in a liquid environment is derived according to the equation (1) based on the MCS theory [19].…”

“…The value of a has a good effect on the Duhem performance, as well as on the functions f and g(v), and determines the shape of the hysteresis loop. Based on the theory, polynomial functions are defined for functions f and g. By solving these two equations, the final relation of the Duhem model is extracted as equation (18). The values of a i and b i are calculated by the value of a and the coefficients of f(v) and g(v).…”

“…In domain II, the tip is closer to the sample surface and the tip-sample interaction force is a combination of attractive Van der Waals and capillary force contributions. Domain III corresponds to the state in which d a 0 ; therefore, the Van der Waals and capillary forces are assumed constant and the DMT repulsive force is added too [17].…”
