Effect of Polarization Direction on the Electric Field Distribution at the Near-Field of a Tip-on-Aperture Near-Field Scanning Optical Microscope Probe
Abstract:A tip-on-aperture (TOA) probe is a novel near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM) probe, which combines the features of aperture and apertureless probes. It has a small metallic tip at the end of an aperture NSOM's probe. The tip is illuminated through an aperture at the near field of the probe and electromagnetic interaction between the structured sharp tip at the end of the probe and the surface is used for measurements and materials processing. In this study, the electric field distributions at the nea… Show more
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.
