Simultaneous length extensional- and flexural operation of a qPlus sensor for biaxial force detection. — •Jinglan Qiu1,2, Dominik Kirpal1, and Franz J. Giessibl1 — 1University of Regensburg, Germany — 2Hebei Normal University, Shijiazhuang, China
In dynamic atomic force microscopy, the tip of the cantilever usually is oscillating in the z-direction perpendicular to the surface. By adding a second oscillation in the x-direction, parallel to the surface, lateral forces can be directly investigated. In the case of a silicon cantilever this can be realized by using a torsional mode [1]. In the case of the qPlus sensor, the length extensional mode (LE-mode) can be used, analogous to a needle sensor. However, this requires an adjustment of the electrode configuration. We have prepared a qPlus sensor for the length extensional mode, characterized the properties of the mode and showed the capability of atomic resolution in both, the LE-mode and the lateral 1st flexural mode.
