Atomic Force

For biologic studies, atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been prevailing over scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) because it has the capability of imaging non-conducting biologic specimens. However, STM generally gives better resolution than AFM, and we're talking about resolution on the atomic scale. In a recent article, Franz Giessibl (Atomic resolution of the silicon (111)- (7X7) surface by atomic force microscopy, Science 267:68-71, 1995) has demonstrated that atoms can be imaged by AFM.

Extract Information

The atomic force microscope (AFM) has been used in many ways to extract information from biologic specimens. Now Gerry Leatherman, Edgar Durantini, Devens Gust, Tom Moore, Anna Moore, Simon Stone, Ziniu Zhou, Peter Rez, YangZhang Liu, and Stuart Lindsay have used conduction atomic force microscopy (CAFM) to demonstrate that a molecule of carotene can function as a molecular wire.Leatherman et al., synthesized carotene and then examined the molecules with the scanning tunneling microscope (STM), They could image spots that averaged 2 nm in diameter, although the size of the spots varied widely due to the geometry of the probe tip. Interestingly, the number of spots increased with the concentration of carotene, but the average size of the spots did not change. This made it clear that they were able to image carotene molecules with the STM, and that the carotene did not form large aggregates.

Microscopy Investigation

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) investigation of tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and the related C60-TCNQ thin films is presented. Periodic molecular chains of the TCNQ on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) substrates were imaged, which demonstrated that the crystalline (001) plane was parallel to the substrate. For the C60-TCNQ thin films, we found that there were grains on the film surface. STM images within the grain revealed that the well-ordered rows and terraces, and the parallel rows in different grains were generally not in the same orientation. Moreover, the grain boundary was also observed. In addition, AFM was employed to modify the organic TCNQ film surface for the application of this type of materials to information recording and storage at the nanometer scale. The nanometer holes were successfully created on the TCNQ thin film by the AFM.
