Dynamic atomic force microscopy, in essence, consists of a vibrating microcantilever with a
nanoscale tip that interacts with a sample surface via short-and long-range intermolecular …

A dynamic atomic force microscope sensitively probes surface properties with
subnanometre lateral resolution. In the amplitude modulation mode, the force-sensing tip …

We identify the dynamics of an atomic force microscope AFM in order to design a feedback
controller that enables faster image acquisition at reduced imaging error compared to the …

The near-resonant, nonlinear dynamic response of microcantilevers in atomic force
microscopy is investigated through numerical continuation techniques and simulations of …

We present modeling, analysis and experimental investigation for nonlinear resonances and
the dynamic pull-in instability in electrostatically actuated resonators. These phenomena are …

We present experimental and theoretical investigations of dynamic pull-in of electrostatically
actuated resonators. Several experimental data are presented, showing regimes of ac …

Chaotic oscillations of microcantilever tips in dynamic atomic force microscopy (AFM) are
reported and characterized. Systematic experiments performed using a variety of …

This paper presents a robust adaptive fuzzy control algorithm for controlling unknown
chaotic systems. The control approach encompasses a fuzzy system and a robust controller …

This review provides a summary of the work completed to date on the nonlinear dynamics of
resonant micro-and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS). This research area …

In tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) the highly nonlinear tip–sample interaction
gives rise to a complicated dynamics of the microcantilever. Apart from the well-known …
