Fabrication of Hybrid Atomic Force Microscopy Probe for Enhancing Sensitivity of AFM-Infrared Nanoscale Spectroscopy
Atomic force microscopy infrared-spectroscopy (AFM-IR) has emerged as a novel method that combines nanoscale resolution of AFM with IR-spectroscopy. In this technique heat generated by IR absorption within the sample will induce thermal expansion, which is detected by AFM probe, in contact with the …

Nanoscale infrared absorption imaging and tomography
… spectroscopies with Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), data are often complicated by the measurement apparatus, light matter interaction scheme and the low signal to noise ratio. Together, these effects have not permitted reliable analytical measurements in a near-field configuration. In this …
