摘要: We report on a modification of commercial scanning force microscope (Omicron UHV AFM/STM) operated in noncontact mode (NC-AFM) at room temperature ultrahigh vacuum yielding decrease the spectral noise density from 2757 to 272 fm/Hz. The major part reduction is achieved by an exchange originally installed light emitting diode laser placed outside vacuum, where coupled into chamber via optical fiber. setup further improved use preamplifiers having bandpass characteristics tailored cantilever resonance frequency. enhanced signal ratio demonstrated comparison atomic resolution images CeO2(111) obtained before and after modification.
