Development of the Evanescent Wave Atomic Force Microscope
The conventional atomic force microscope (AFM) is equipped with a single optical detection system. Probe-sample separation is determined in an independent deflection with respect to AFM z-translation experiment. This method of determining probe-surface separation is relative, susceptible to drift …

Investigation of Non-DLVO Forces using an Evanescent Wave Atomic Force Microscope
This dissertation describes new methods for measuring surface forces using evanescent waves, and applications to non-DLVO forces. An evanescent wave, generated at a solid-liquid interface, is scattered by AFM tips or particles attached to AFM cantilevers. The scattering of this wave is used to …
