Using a laterally oscillating all-metallic probe, a scanning capacitance microscope (SCM) has been used to yield an image
of the spatial derivative of the local capacitance, dC/dX, where C and X are the local capacitance and the axis of the probe
tip locus on the sample surface, respectively. Bias fields, except for the ultra-high-frequency fields used for sensing the
capacitance, are not necessary to detect the dC/dX signal, which yields an image delineating clearly the depletion region
due to the p–n junction. Simultaneously with the dC/dX image, the new SCM can give images of topography and dC/dV if an alternating
field V is applied between the probe and sample.

Light distributions near resonant metal nanoparticles are recorded by a scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscope
(s-SNOM), for the first time with a sub-particle-size resolution (<10 nm) and with simultaneous amplitude and phase contrast.
The images depict the optical oscillation patterns of single plasmon particles. Examples are presented of particles excited
in dominantly dipolar and quadrupolar modes, and also of closely spaced particles sustaining a gap mode. The gap mode can
provide enhanced optical fields in nanometric spots for non-linear and single-molecule spectroscopy applications.

Self-assembled Monolayers of calix[4]resorcinarene receptor molecules on Au(111) were studied by UHV scanning tunneling microscopy
and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Highly ordered monolayers were observed with domains oriented at an angle of 60° relative
to each other. Molecularly resolved images were investigated and lattice constants found which depended on the preparation
solvent. The STM images of two samples, one prepared in 1 mM chloroform/ethyl alcohol adsorbate solution and one in 1 mM hexane
adsorbate solution are consistent with having a ×2 and 4×2 lattice, respectively.

We study near-field fluorescence images of samples composed of aggregates of 100 nm dye-doped latex spheres. These images have been performed by a reflection Apertureless Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (A-SNOM). We show that the near-field distribution in fluorescence A-SNOM images arises from coherent scattering phenomena between all spheres. This is a consequence of the coherent nature of the fluorescence emission of each single sphere. The results shown here are significant for all fluorescent samples characterised by a nonnegligible topography. 相似文献

Silver colloids in aqueous solution were studied by different scanning microscopy techniques and UV/VIS spectroscopy. The
silver colloids were produced either by chemical reduction or by nanosecond laser ablation from a solid silver foil in water.
Variation of laser power and ablation time leads to solutions of metal clusters of different sizes in water. We characterized
the electronic absorption of the clusters by UV/VIS spectroscopy. STM (scanning tunneling microscope) imaging of the metal
colloids shows atomic resolution of rod- or tenon-like silver clusters up to 10-nm length formed by laser ablation. Our scanning
electron microscope measurements, however, show that much larger silver colloids up to 5-μm length are also formed, which
are not visible in the STM due to their roughness. We correlate them with the long-wavelength tail of the multimodal UV/VIS
spectrum. The silver colloids obtained by chemical reduction are generally larger and their electronic spectra are red-shifted
compared to the laser-ablated clusters. Irradiation of the colloid solution with nanosecond laser pulses of appropriate fluence
at 532 nm and 355 nm initially reduced the colloid size. Longer irradiation at 355 nm, however, leads to the formation of
larger colloids again. There seems to be a critical lower particle size, where silver clusters in aqueous solution become
unstable and start to coagulate.

An internal reflection mode is introduced for scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) with the tetrahedral tip. A beam
of light is coupled into the tip and the light specularly reflected out of the tip is detected as a photosignal for SNOM.
An auxiliary STM mode is used to control the distance during the scanning process and to record the topography of the sample
simultaneously with the SNOM image. Images were obtained of different metallic samples which show a contrast in the order
of 10% of the total reflected photosignal. In images of metallic samples an inverted contrast is consistently obtained compared
to images previously obtained of comparable samples in a transmission mode. The contrast shows a pronounced dependence on
the polarization of the incident beam with respect to the orientation of the edges of the tip. In the case of gold surfaces,
the photosignal as a function of distance between the tip and the surface shows a pronounced peak in the near-field range
of 0–20 nm which is tentatively attributed to the excitation of surface plasmons on the gold surface. The pronounced near-field
effects and the strong contrast in the near-field images and the resolution well below 50 nm are an indication of a highly
efficient coupling of the incident beam to a local excitation of the tip apex which is essential for the function of the tip
as a probe for SNOM.

2 Cu3O7-δ films have been patterned by means of an arrangement employed in scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). Standard
SNOM probes were modified to achieve high transmission for direct writing by oxygen depletion in N2 atmosphere. The written lines are about 1.5 μm wide and show a semiconductor-like resistivity behavior (δ≥0.5). The morphology
of illuminated regions is about the same as that of the YBCO films.

A scanning near-field optical microscope using an integrating sphere is demonstrated. The images from a usual near-field optical
microscope often include contrasts caused by the sample structure because the reflection and transmission angles of signal
waves depend on the size and shape of the sample. The observation angle dependency of signals can be avoided by using an integrating
sphere. Background signals resulting from using the sphere can be reduced by using lock-in detection synchronously with modulation
of tip–sample distance. The whole detection system is possibly useful for observing the distribution of the refractive index
and/or the absorption coefficient.

Scanning tunneling microscopy of carbon nanotubes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This article reports on the application of scanning tunneling microscopy for the study of surface structures and electronic
properties of carbon nanotubes. Geometric effects resulting from the cylindrical shape of the tubes as well as the particular
band structure of the graphitic crystal lattice can lead to a variety of contrast patterns. On the atomic scale, it is sometimes
possible to see the full honeycomb lattice structure but often different structures are observed. Besides distortions caused
by tip–sample interactions, we find that a complex superstructure superimposed on the simple atomic contrast pattern arises
from elastic scattering of the Fermi states at defects or impurities. From a careful analysis of high-resolution images it
is possible to extract information about elastic strain of individual tubes. A new combination of scanning tunneling and scanning
force microscopy enables near-atomic point resolution of the force signal the tubes can be identified without the need of
a conducting substrate. This imaging mode is a crucial step for the characterization of electronic devices based on individual
single-wall tubes. This mode can be further enhanced by the use of single-walled tubes as probe tips.

During the last few years, spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy has been developed as a reliable
tool to image surface magnetic domain structures of bulk materials as well as thin films and nanostructured systems. In principle,
this technique also allows for the determination of the energy-resolved spin polarization of the sample PS(E) with nanometer resolution, information which might play a crucial role in understanding systems like, for example, non-magnetic
adatoms on magnetic surfaces. A main problem in quantifying PS(E), however, arises from the fact that, in contrast to planar junctions, the tip–sample distance generally varies with the
magnitude and direction of the surface magnetization, since the distance is controlled indirectly by the tunneling current
that is itself spin-polarized. We employ a simple model of the tunneling process to investigate this issue and show that a
normalization of the dI/dU spectra with the total conductance I/U is insufficient to correct for their distance dependence.

Aluminum films with thicknesses ranging from 1 nm to 12 nm have been sputtered on 20 nm thick Co layers. The properties of
the Co/Al bilayers were studied by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and spin-echo nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).
Both methods show independently that a 1 nm Al film covers the Co surface completely. XPS and NMR also showed that layers
thicker than 1 nm Al are not oxidized completely in ambient air. Similarities to and deviations from niobium with Al overlayers
(Nb/Al) are described. Prerequisites for the fabrication of tunneling magnetoresistance devices based on Co or NiFe ferromagnets
and an aluminum oxide barrier are discussed.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has become a powerful technique for submicron investigation of surface properties. In this work
we use the capability of this technique to investigate dielectric films used to align ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLC).
In fact, the final performance of a surface stabilized FLC (SSFLC) flat panel display strongly depends on the alignment layer
properties and quality. This work focuses on a comparison of two alignment films: the more conventional polyamide, nylon 6,
and polytetrafluoroethilene (PTFE, commercially known as Teflon), only recently used as a new aligning material.
A micromorphological characterization of the sample surfaces has been carried out in order to correlate structure with alignment
properties of both polymer films. The results show varying roughness and periodicity wavelengths for the two alignment layers.
These different properties can be related to different anchoring forces between aligning surfaces and FLC molecules and therefore
to a different electrooptical response of SSFLC cells. In addition to the topographic characterization, AFM non-conventional
measurements have been performed on alignment layers deposited on different transparent conductive oxides, such as indium
tin oxide (ITO) and SnO2, used to make electrodes in SSFLC displays. These measurements provide local information on the adhesive properties of the
studied alignment materials as a function of substrate coating. These observations indicate less adhesion of PTFE with respect
to nylon 6.

Recent developments in the application of scanning force microscopy in nanotube science are reviewed. The non-destructive
character of this technique allows the structural characterisation of (chemically modified) single- and multi-wall nanotubes
deposited on substrates for further investigations such as electrical transport measurements. Furthermore, SFM is now an established
tool for manipulation of nanotubes, which allows position control and determination of elastic constants such as the Young’s
modulus. Finally it is shown that very sharp and stable probes for scanning force microscopy can be made from nanotubes due
to their excellent stability and aspect ratio.
