Attractive and repulsive tip-sample interaction regimes of a force microscope operated with
an amplitude modulation feedback were investigated as a function of tip-sample separation …

This paper is a review of studies of the structures and reactivities of ordered alumina
surfaces under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV;< 10− 8 Torr), ambient (> 1 Torr), and intermediate …

Quantitative measurements of frequency shift vs distance curves of ultrahigh-vacuum force
microscopy in a noncontact mode are presented. Different contributions from electrostatic …

We have performed simultaneous scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force
microscopy measurements in the dynamic mode using metal-coated Si cantilevers at room …

We perform simultaneous atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling
microscopy (STM) measurements on the Si (111)-(7× 7) surface. AFM/STM constant height …

We discuss the correct expression for the classical electrostatic energy used while analysing
scanning probe microscopy (SPM) experiments if either a conducting tip or a substrate or …

We consider the effect of the image interaction on the force acting between tip and surface in
non-contact scanning force microscope experiments. This interaction is relevant when a …

Numerical simulations were applied to investigate the motion of a tip interacting with a
compliant sample. The dependence of the amplitude, deformation, contact time and phase …

The tip-sample capacitance has been studied in the nontunneling regime and the
capacitance-distance characteristics and its dependence on the tip geometry have been …

Force microscopy in atomic resolution with an oscillating tip has been performed across
monatomic steps of the Si (111)-(7× 7) surface using the tunnelling current or frequency shift …
