Abstract
Multifrequency atomic force microscopy (AFM) utilizes the multimode operation of cantilevers to achieve rapid high-resolution imaging and extract multiple properties. However, the higher-order modal response of traditional rectangular cantilever is weaker in air, which affects the sensitivity of multifrequency AFM detection. To address this issue, we previously proposed a bridge/cantilever coupled system model to enhance the higher-order modal response of the cantilever. This model is simpler and less costly than other enhancement methods, making it easier to be widely used. However, previous studies were limited to theoretical analysis and preliminary simulations regarding ideal conditions. In this paper, we undertake a more comprehensive investigation of the coupled system, taking into account the influence of probe and excitation surface sizes on the modal response. To facilitate the exploration of the effectiveness and optimal conditions for the coupled system in practical applications, a macroscale experimental platform is established. By conducting finite element analysis and experiments, we compare the performance of the coupled system with that of traditional cantilevers and quantify the enhancement in higher-order modal response. Also, the optimal conditions for the enhancement of macroscale cantilever modal response are explored. Additionally, we also supplement the characteristics of this model, including increasing the modal frequency of the original cantilever and generating additional resonance peaks, demonstrating the significant potential of the coupled system in various fields of AFM.

Lou P, Bi Z, Shang G. Accurate detection of subsurface microcavity by bimodal atomic force microscopy. NANOTECHNOLOGY 2024; 35:355704. [PMID: 38838645 DOI: 10.1088/1361-6528/ad544e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
Subsurface detection capability of bimodal atomic force microscopy (AFM) was investigated using the buried microcavity as a reference sample, prepared by partially covering a piece of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) flake with different thickness on a piece of a cleaned CD-R disk substrate. This capability can be manifested as the image contrast between the locations with and without the buried microcavities. The theoretical and experimental results demonstrated that the image contrast is significantly affected by the critical parameters, including the second eigenmode amplitude and frequency as well as local structural and mechanical properties of the sample itself. Specifically, improper parameter settings generally lead to incorrect identification of the buried microcavity due to the contrast reduction, contrast reversal and even disappearance. For accurate detection, the second eigenmode amplitude should be as small as possible on the premise of satisfying the signal-to-noise ratio and second eigenmode frequency should be close to the resonance frequency of the cantilever. In addition, the detectable depth is closely related to microcavity dimension (thickness and width) of the HOPG flake and local stiffness of the sample. These results would be helpful for further understanding of the detection mechanism of bimodal AFM and facilitating its application in nano-characterization of subsurface structures, such as the micro-/nano- channels to direct the flow of liquids in lab-on-a-chip devices.

Abstract
The atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an important tool capable of characterization, measurement, and manipulation at the nanoscale with a vertical resolution of less than 0.1 nm. However, the conventional AFMs' scanning range is around 100 µm, which limits their capability for processing cross-scale samples. In this study, it proposes a novel approach to overcome this limitation with an ultra-large scale stitchless AFM (ULSS-AFM) that allows for the high-throughput characterization of an area of up to 1 × 1 mm2 through a synergistic integration with a compliant nano-manipulator (CNM). Specifically, the compact CNM provides planar motion with nanoscale precision and millimeter range for the sample, while the probe of the ULSS-AFM interacts with the sample. Experimental results show that the proposed ULSS-AFM performs effectively in different scanning ranges under various scanning modes, resolutions, and frequencies. Compared with the conventional AFMs, the approach enables high-throughput characterization of ultra-large scale samples without stitching or bow errors, expanding the scanning area of conventional AFMs by two orders of magnitude. This advancement opens up important avenues for cross-scale scientific research and industrial applications in nano- and microscale.

Abstract
Photo-induced isomerization of azobenzene molecules drives mass migrations in azopolymer samples. The resulting macroscopic directional photo-deformation of the material morphology has found many applications in literature, although the fundamental mechanisms behind this mass transfer are still under debate. Hence, it is of paramount importance to find quantitative observables that could drive the community toward a better understanding of this phenomenon. In this regard, azopolymer mechanical properties have been intensively studied, but the lack of a nanoscale technique capable of quantitative viscoelastic measurements has delayed the progress in the field. Here, we use bimodal atomic force microscopy (AFM) as a powerful technique for nanomechanical characterizations of azopolymers. With this multifrequency AFM approach, we map the azopolymer local elasticity and viscosity, with high resolution, after irradiation. We find that, while in the (previously) illuminated region, a general photo-softening is measured; locally, the Young modulus and the viscosity depend upon the inner structuring of the illuminating light spot. We then propose a possible interpretation based on a light-induced expansion plus a local alignment of the polymer chains (directional hole-burning effect), which explains the experimental observations. The possibility to access, in a reliable and quantitative way, both Young modulus and viscosity could trigger new theoretical-numerical investigations on the azopolymer mass migration dynamics since, as we show, both parameters can be considered measurable. Furthermore, our results provide a route for engineering the nanomechanical properties of azopolymers, which could find interesting applications in cell mechanobiology research.

Abstract
High-spatial resolution mapping of van der Waals forces is relevant in several fields ranging from nanotechnology to colloidal science. The emergence of two-dimensional heterostructures assembled by van der Waals interactions has enhanced the interest of those measurements. Several AFM methods have been developed to measure the adhesion force between an AFM probe and the material of interest. However, a reliable and high-resolution method to measure the Hamaker constant remains elusive. We demonstrate that an atomic force microscope operated in a bimodal configuration enables fast, quantitative, and high-resolution mapping of the Hamaker constant of interfaces. The method is applied to map the Hamaker constant of monolayer, bilayer and multilayer MoS2 surfaces. Those interfaces are characterized with Hamaker constant and spatial resolutions of, respectively, 0.1 eV and 50 nm.

Abstract
Magnetism plays a pivotal role in many biological systems. However, the intensity of the magnetic forces exerted between magnetic bodies is usually low, which demands the development of ultra-sensitivity tools for proper sensing. In this framework, magnetic force microscopy (MFM) offers excellent lateral resolution and the possibility of conducting single-molecule studies like other single-probe microscopy (SPM) techniques. This comprehensive review attempts to describe the paramount importance of magnetic forces for biological applications by highlighting MFM's main advantages but also intrinsic limitations. While the working principles are described in depth, the article also focuses on novel micro- and nanofabrication procedures for MFM tips, which enhance the magnetic response signal of tested biomaterials compared to commercial nanoprobes. This work also depicts some relevant examples where MFM can quantitatively assess the magnetic performance of nanomaterials involved in biological systems, including magnetotactic bacteria, cryptochrome flavoproteins, and magnetic nanoparticles that can interact with animal tissues. Additionally, the most promising perspectives in this field are highlighted to make the reader aware of upcoming challenges when aiming toward quantum technologies.

Abstract
Amplitude modulation (tapping mode) AFM is the most versatile AFM mode for imaging surfaces at the nanoscale in air and liquid environments. However, it remains challenging to estimate the forces and deformations exerted by the tip. We introduce a new simulator environment to predict the values of the observables in tapping mode AFM experiments. The relevant feature of dForce 2.0 is the incorporation of contact mechanics models aimed to describe the properties of ultrathin samples. These models were essential to determine the forces applied on samples such as proteins, self-assembled monolayers, lipid bilayers, and few-layered materials. The simulator incorporates two types of long-range magnetic forces. The simulator is written in an open-source code (Python) and it can be run from a personal computer.

Abstract
Probing material properties at surfaces down to the single-particle scale of atoms and molecules has been achieved, but high-resolution subsurface imaging remains a nanometrology challenge due to electromagnetic and acoustic dispersion and diffraction. The atomically sharp probe used in scanning probe microscopy (SPM) has broken these limits at surfaces. Subsurface imaging is possible under certain physical, chemical, electrical, and thermal gradients present in the material. Of all the SPM techniques, atomic force microscopy has entertained unique opportunities for nondestructive and label-free measurements. Here, we explore the physics of the subsurface imaging problem and the emerging solutions that offer exceptional potential for visualization. We discuss materials science, electronics, biology, polymer and composite sciences, and emerging quantum sensing and quantum bio-imaging applications. The perspectives and prospects of subsurface techniques are presented to stimulate further work toward enabling noninvasive high spatial and spectral resolution investigation of materials including meta- and quantum materials.

Abstract
Nanoparticles are widely used in the biomedical field for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes due to their small size, high carrier capacity, and ease of modification, which enable selective targeting and as contrast agents. Over the past decades, more and more nanoparticles have received regulatory approval to enter the clinic, more nanoparticles have shown potential for clinical translation, and humans have increasing access to them. However, nanoparticles have a high potential to cause unpredictable adverse effects on human organs, tissues, and cells due to their unique physicochemical properties and interactions with DNA, lipids, cells, tissues, proteins, and biological fluids. Currently, issues, such as nanoparticle side effects and toxicity, remain controversial, and these pitfalls must be fully considered prior to their application to body systems. Therefore, it is particularly urgent and important to assess the safety of nanoparticles acting in living organisms. In this paper, we review the important factors influencing the biosafety of nanoparticles in terms of their properties, and introduce common methods to summarize the biosafety evaluation of nanoparticles through in vitro and in body systems.

Abstract
Non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) with CO-functionalized tips allows visualization of the chemical structure of adsorbed molecules and identify individual inter- and intramolecular bonds. This technique enables in-depth studies of on-surface reactions and self-assembly processes. Herein, we analyze the suitability of qPlus sensors, which are commonly used for such studies, for the application of modern multifrequency AFM techniques. Two different qPlus sensors were tested for submolecular resolution imaging via actuating torsional and flexural higher eigenmodes and via bimodal AFM. The torsional eigenmode of one of our sensors is perfectly suited for performing lateral force microscopy (LFM) with single bond resolution. The obtained LFM images agree well with images from the literature, which were scanned with customized qPlus sensors that were specifically designed for LFM. The advantage of using a torsional eigenmode is that the same molecule can be imaged either with a vertically or laterally oscillating tip without replacing the sensor simply by actuating a different eigenmode. Submolecular resolution is also achieved by actuating the 2nd flexural eigenmode of our second sensor. In this case, we observe particular contrast features that only appear in the AFM images of the 2nd flexural eigenmode but not for the fundamental eigenmode. With complementary laser Doppler vibrometry measurements and AFM simulations we can rationalize that these contrast features are caused by a diagonal (i.e. in-phase vertical and lateral) oscillation of the AFM tip.
