Low-amplitude dynamic force microscopy can operate in a non-contact mode, sensing changes in liquid properties near a surface. Operation of the microscope in water at the higher amplitudes often required for stable imaging has been investigated. When driven by direct application of a force to the ti

✦ Synopsis
Dynamic force microscopy has proved to be a powerful imaging tool. Here, the tip of an atomic force microscope is vibrated at a high frequency, typically the resonance frequency of the lever sensor, and at a large vibration amplitude, typically of the order of 10 nm. Imaging contrast is obtained from measuring shifts of the resonance frequency, which provides information on conservative interactions, and of the Q-factor, which is sensitive to dissipative interactions. Problems associated with interaction sensing are discussed from a theoretical and an experimental point of view.

Dynamic force microscopy (DFM) was performed in air on ultrathin polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) ®lms. Nominal non-contact and intermittent solid contact regimes are identi®ed in measurements of amplitude and phase as a function of the mean distance from the sample. Evidence suggests that the nominal non-co
Ultrathin Ðlms of NaCl on Cu(111) have been studied using a dynamic force microscope. We present images with atomic resolution at step sites on the NaCl Ðlms. Force spectroscopy measurements of the tip-sample interaction on NaCl-covered areas and the Cu substrate are analysed with respect to electro
The cantilever-sample system of an atomic force acoustic microscope is excited in the frequency range from 10 kHz to 3 MHz. By analysing the cantilever vibration in the frequency domain, one obtains information about the sti †ness and the damping of the whole mechanical system, consisting of the Ñex
