ABSTRACT
Presents a method for height calibration of scanning probe microscopes (SPM). Previously calibrated piezo that is set in a SPM instead of a sample; Definite time-periodic elongation at a corresponding voltage that can serve as height standard; Method's tuneability in a wide range; How the method is exact to the limits of the SPM itself.

This paper addresses a new approach for compensation of nonlinear effects of creep and hysteresis on the piezotube scanners which are used in scanning probe microscopes. Although the significant contribution of nonlinearities, especially hysteresis, originates from noises, researchers did not...

We present a rotating-tip-based mechanical nanomanufacturing technique, referred to here as nanomilling. An atomic force microscopy (AFM) probe tip that is rotated at high speeds by out-of-phase motions of the axes of a three-axis piezoelectric actuator is used as the nanotool. By circumventing...

The most widely used dynamic atomic force microscopy technique in fluids is the piezo-drive, where a cantilever is driven by fluid excited by a piezoelectric. The study of the frequency response of the fluid-driven cantilever is usually interfered by the resonances of a fluid cell. In this work...

We present a new type of piezoelectric nanopositioner called KoalaDrive which can have a diameter less than 2.5 mm and a length smaller than 10 mm. The new operating principle provides a smooth travel sequence and avoids shaking which is intrinsic to nanopositioners based on inertial motion with...
