O 45: Focus Session: Scanning Probe Microscopy with Quartz Sensors I

Wednesday, March 29, 2023, 10:30–12:30, CHE 89

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was quickly adopted in science and engineering, but it took a while until the field of surface could benefit from it. 2023 marks the 25th anniversary of the introduction of the qPlus sensor. This stiff and self sensing force sensor made from quartz that often uses an etched metal tip as known from scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) replaced the silicon cantilever and allowed new types of experiments and new domains of precision. Scientists used it to resolve the structure of organic molecules with atomic resolution, to obtain subatomic spatial resolution, to image spin structures and spin lifetimes, to measure lateral forces, to detect tiny water molecules, to image oxides and other insulating surfaces with atomic resolution. Operation in ambient conditions, ultrahigh vacuum (UHV), low (4 K) and ultralow temperatures (10 mK) and in high magnetic fields as well as in an electrochemical cell was demonstrated.
