Lipid membrane: inelastic deformation of surface structure by an atomic force microscope

The stability of the 1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-Glycero-3-[phospho-rac-1-Glycerol-Na] liposome in the liquid crystalline state have been investigated using an atomic force microscope (AFM). We have observed the inelastic deformation of the sample surface. The AFM tip causes persistent deformation of the surface of the lipid membrane, in which some of the lipid molecules are eventually pushed or dragged by the AFM tip. The experiment shows how the surface structure of the lipid membrane can be created by the interaction between the AFM tip and lipid membrane. When the operating force exceeds 10^-8 N, it leads to large deformations of the surface. A square region of about 1×1μm² is created by the scanning probe on the surface. When the operating force is between 10^-11N and 10^-8N, it can image the topography of the surface of the lipid membrane. The stability of the sample is related to the concentration of the medium in which the sample is prepared.     

Measurement of the evanescent field using noncontact mode atomic force microscope

Using the noncontact mode atomic force microscope (AFM) with frequency modulation detection method, force gradient acting on the AFM tip induced by the evanescent field was measured in a high vacuum. Exponential distance dependence of the force gradient by the evanescent field was successfully measured for the first time. Decay lengths of the force gradient were estimated to be 40±3 nm and 43±3 nm for Ar and He-Ne lasers, respectively, and independent of wavelength within the experimental error. The minimum detectable force was estimated to be about 0.1 pN. There was a tendency for the measured decay length to become shorter at a distance less than z=10 nm in many cases. The force gradient induced by the evanescent field inp-polarization was larger than that ins-polarization. This paper was originally presented at the first Asia-Pacific Workshop on Near Field Optics, which was held on August 17 and 18, 1996 at Seoul Education and Culture Center, Seoul, Korea, organized by the Condensed Matter Research Institute, Seoul National University.

Tip cleaning and sharpening processes for noncontact atomic force microscope in ultrahigh vacuum

Tip cleaning and sharpening processes for noncontact atomic force microscope (AFM) operated in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) were carried out and evaluated by a scanning Auger microscope (SAM) with a field emission electron gun and a noncontact AFM in UHV combined with a scanning tunneling microscope and a field emission microscope. The cantilever used in this study was piezoresistive, which can be heated by passing a current through the resistive legs of the cantilever. As a pretreatment, the tip was irradiated with ultraviolet light in oxygen to remove carbon contaminants. It was heated at about 750°C to form a clean oxide layer in oxygen of 5×10⁻⁵ Torr in an SAM chamber. The desorption of the layer can make a remained tip apex sharper by heating under electron beam irradiation. A thermally oxidized layer was also eliminated by HF etching to sharpen the tip apex. The procedures are useful to obtain a well-defined Si tip suitable for a noncontact AFM.     

Investigation of nuclear reaction products by atomic force microscopy

The use of Atomic Force Microscope (AFM, from Corporate Head, Santa Clara, California, USA) opened a new way to study latent nuclear tracks. In our experiments we used plastic track detectors of the type CR-39 (Columbia Resin No. 39) Impinging ions with energy above a threshold of 180 keV can alter the molecular structure forming latent tracks. Since nuclear latent tracks have diameters in the range of 10 to 1000 nm, they can be visualized by AFM with a slight chemical etching (6 min in 6 n NaOH solution at 70 °C). These tracks are significant for the energy, momentum and the mass of the incoming particles. In our study, passive CR-39 detectors were irradiated by secondary particles produced bombarding ¹⁰³Rh by ¹⁶O and ¹²C in a wide range of energy (1 MeV/amu to 33 MeV/amu) at the MP Tandem generator of the Laboratorio Nazionale del Sud in Catania, Italy. The experiment was carried out in order to identify the secondary particles and to determine their density and the spatial distribution.
