Quantitative characterization of nanoscale mechanics

usingPeakForce Tapping ®Technology, PeakForce QNM ® for different nano mechanical properties (including), adhesion, dissipation and deformation modulus for imaging and identification, the morphology and mechanical properties of channel up to atomic resolution.Since the peak force model can directly control the vertical and the transverse force on the probe to a minimum, so the tip and the sample no destructive.Because the model directly analyze the force curve data, so that by using this model can avoid other technical problems, often appears in source mechanisms of image contrast is very clear.Generated by the quantitative data can help researchers answer what materials was observed in the topography is a critical problem.

The latest generation of PeakForce QNM equipped with unique beforehand calibration PeakForce Tapping probe and integrate the workflow of the software, makes obtain modulus of calibration data is very convenient.Don't even have to benchmark samples can obtain the quantitative data.

PeakForce QNM has the following features:

  • But the nano mechanical properties for high resolution imaging
  • Nano mechanics imaging speed and the highest degree in quantitative
  • Samples of the most widely applicable range, covering a very soft material (~ 1 kPa) to the hard metal (100 GPa)

PeakForce QNM can realize:

  • For the mechanical, chemical, and biological interactions, molecular resolution imaging
  • For high speed and quantitative mechanical properties of living cells and adhesion of imaging
  • Outstanding ease of use, to ensure that every user become experts AFM

QMN peak force is a powerful tool that will serve the community, in the years, through comprehensive imaging and mechanical measuring open up new research areas.My experience of peak power QMN for my students and I certainly is encouraging.At the same time the ability of imaging and mechanical information will increase the sample throughput, and increase the data correlation, able to handle complex samples at the same time.We may be experiencing a new evolution in AFM self volume.
