FM-AFM - Prinzip
FM-AFM - PrinzipKenngrößen:
ω = ωresonanz : Federbalken wird genau
an der Resonanz angeregt
(Selbsterregung)
Aexc : Anregung der Schwingung mit
variablem Anregungssignal, so dass
die Schwingungsamplitude konstant
bleibt
A: Schwingungsamplitude wird
konstant gehalten
φ : Phase ist immer genau 90°, da
Anregung immer in Resonanz
ω0 ω

ω1
∆ω
z = Spitze-Probe Abstand : Abstand wird über Z-Piezo geregelt, so daß die
Frequenzverschiebung (Abweichung der momentanen Resonanzfrequenz von der
Resonanzfrequenz der freien Schwingung) konstant bleibt. Dies bestimmt die
Bildinformation!

Mechanismus der Frequenzverschiebung
Kraftspektroskopie
Model: Gekoppelte Federn
Gekoppelte Federn:
1. Spitze an Federbalken: kFb
2. Spitze und Probe
Kraftwechselwirkung: kts = ∂F/∂z
Resonanzfrequenz eines
(ungedämpften) Federbalkens:
ω² = (ω0+ ∆ω)² = keff / m*
(m* = effektive Masse des
Federbalkens)
wobei: keff = kFb + ∂F/∂z
damit gilt für Gradienten ∂F/∂z < kFb
∆ω ≅ ω0 / 2kFb · ∂F/∂z

Measurement of interaction potential energy landscape:
� attach adsorbate to support base
� measure forces as a function of relative tip-sample position in 3D space
� calculate potential energy map
