The ability of atomic force microscopy (AFM) to acquire tip-sample interaction force curves has allowed researchers to understand the mechanical behavior of numerous materials at the nanoscale. However, AFM force spectroscopy with the most commonly used techniques can be a slow process for non-uniform samples, as it often requires the measurement to be performed at one fixed surface point at a time. In this paper we present two dynamic AFM based spectroscopy methods, one requiring operation in single-frequency-modulation mode and another using dual-frequency-modulation, which could allow a more rapid acquisition of topography and tip-sample interaction force curves. Numerical simulation results are provided along with discussions on the benefits and limitations of both.

We introduce drive-amplitude-modulation atomic force microscopy as a dynamic mode with outstanding performance in all environments from vacuum to liquids. As with frequency modulation, the new mode follows a feedback scheme with two nested loops: The first keeps the cantilever oscillation amplitude constant by regulating the driving force, and the second uses the driving force as the feedback variable for topography. Additionally, a phase-locked loop can be used as a parallel feedback allowing separation of the conservative and nonconservative interactions. We describe the basis of this mode and present some examples of its performance in three different environments. Drive-amplutide modulation is a very stable, intuitive and easy to use mode that is free of the feedback instability associated with the noncontact-to-contact transition that occurs in the frequency-modulation mode.

ABSTRACTThe set of oscillatory resonance AFM modes is expanded with frequency modulation mode and frequency imaging in amplitude modulation mode. The backgrounds of these modes are discussed and their capabilities are compared on the practical examples. The data show how these techniques complement the amplitude modulation with phase imaging. The frequency imaging enhances the compositional mapping of heterogeneous samples. Frequency modulation mode provides a superior capability in imaging at low tip-sample forces.
