Atomic Force Microscopy

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that can analyze topographic details of various specimens like ceramics, glass, polymers, and biological samples. AFM offers over 1000 times more resolution than the optical imaging system. Images generated from AFM are three-dimensional surface profiles, offering an advantage over the flat, two-dimensional images from other imaging techniques.
The AFM Probe
The probe is regarded as the heart of any AFM setup and comprises the...

Area of Science:

  • Electron Optics
  • Nanofabrication
  • Interferometry

Background:

  • Advancements in nanofabrication have led to new electron optic elements.
  • These elements are crucial for improving image contrast and controlling electron wave functions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a modular, self-aligned, amplitude-division electron interferometer.
  • To demonstrate its use in a conventional transmission electron microscope.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a silicon interferometer using focused-ion-beam milling.
  • Integration into an unmodified 200 kV transmission electron microscope.
  • Utilizing convergent-beam electron diffraction for alignment and coherence quantification.

Main Results:

  • Obtained interference fringes in a Mach-Zehnder geometry.
  • Observed fringe periods of 0.32 nm, corresponding to silicon [111] lattice planes.
  • Achieved a maximum fringe contrast of 15%.

Conclusions:

  • The developed electron interferometer is modular and self-aligned.
  • It functions in a standard transmission electron microscope, producing high-resolution fringes.
  • Potential applications include electron holography and fundamental physics experiments like interaction-free measurements.
