SPM: “Scanning probe microscope”
Microscope (“Nanoscope”) in which the image acquisition is based on the control and acquisition of the vertical movement of a ultra sharp needle that scans the surface that we want to visualize

Density of States
Every substance has a complex electronic structure. At every energy, there are a certain number of electronic states. The number is so large for bulk material, that one reports the number of states per unit energy – the Density of States or DOS.
Tunneling can occur between states of the same energy; the electron’s energy does not change during the tunneling event.

Contact Mode SFM
a
Repulsive force between surface atoms and tip atoms, lead to cantilever deflection, altering of relected beam path.
Sample is rastered and moved vertically to maintain constant cantilever deflection.
Can damage delicate samples.

Lateral Force Mode SFM
Frictional force measurement. During scan, frictional forces on surface will tend to twist the cantilever.
Use Signal = 1+3 - (2+4) as feedback/imaging signal.
Chemically sensitive: –CH3 covered surface vs. –COOH covered surface

Non-Contact Mode SFM
Important when dealing with delicate samples.
Can achieve atomic resolution.
Vibrate tip at resonant frequency (100’s of kHz).
As tip approaches surface, the attractive forces between the substrate and the tip alter the resonance condition.
For feedback/imaging
• frequency shift
• phase shift
• damping

Li is driven into Sn electrochemically which leads to a swelling of the Sn grains. SFM images were used to measure the grain sizes as the potential changed, contributing to a model rgarding Li incorporation in the Sn film.

Imaging Process continued
Interference is strong only when reflected light is in focus; the sample-lens distance is at the focal position.
Scan sample-lens distance around the focal length.
Each pixel will strongly modulate its intensity when the lens reaches the focal position corresponding to each point on the surface.
High resolution position information comes from a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) connected to the lens scanning drive.

VSI and PSI Modes
Vertical Scanning Interferometry
1. Scan objective over range of µm.
2. Record image frames sequentially.
3. Search each pixel through frames and locate frame where intensity modulation is greatest.
4. Assign height information by correlating frame number to LVDT.
Phase Shifting Interferometry
1. Alter optical path length in series of steps.
2. This causes fringe pattern to shift laterally.
3. The series of shifted fringe patterns are combined to form interferograms from which height information is calculated

Raman Imaging Microscopy
Raman spectroscopy is molecular vibrational spectroscopy. Microscope uses a focused laser beam as the excitation source. The detector can be tuned to look for a particular spectral peak and this can be used to produce a chemical map - now based on molecular and not just atomic features.

Raman Effect
Incident laser impinges on sample. Scattered light is shifted slightly to longer wavelengths; small amount of photon energy is left in molecules to excite vibrations. This scattered light, looking for loss of energy, correlates with molecular vibrational spectrum.

Imaging
Much faster than mapping. Uses bandpass filters instead of dispersive grating detection. Entire image passes through filter and exposed to CCD camera at once. Image keyed to the radiation intensity passing through the bandpass. This is selected for a particular molecular transition.
Raman image can pick out the 5 differfent layers very easily. From a forensics study of a car.

Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX)
Done in conjunction with SEM. Name shifting to EDS.
Add an X-ray detector. Emitted X-rays identify atomic species in excitation volume.
Detector analyzes X-ray photons by energy, rather than wavelength.
Can be used to chemically map a surface.
Can also be done in wavelength dispersion mode. Higher resolution (10 eV compared to 100 eV), but more complex. Getting better. Also higher sensitivity. Order of magnitude better.
