Abstract:
A method and system for calibrating force (F 12 ) in a dynamic mode atomic force microscope (AFM). An AFM tip ( 11 ) is disposed on a first cantilever ( 12 ). The first cantilever ( 12 ) is actuated to oscillate the AFM tip ( 11 ) in a dynamic mode. A first sensor ( 16 ) is configured to measure a first parameter (A 1 ) of the oscillating AFM tip ( 11 ). A second sensor ( 26 ) is configured to measure a second parameter (A 2 ) of a resilient element ( 22 ). The oscillating AFM tip ( 11 ) is moved in proximity to the resilient element ( 22 ) while measuring the first parameter (A 1 ) of the AFM tip ( 11 ) and the second parameter (A 2 ) of the resilient element ( 22 ). A force (F 12 ) between the oscillating AFM tip ( 11 ) and the resilient element ( 22 ) is calculated based on the measured second parameter (A 2 ) and a calibrated force constant (K 2 ) of the resilient element ( 22 ).

Claim (Index 8):
The method according to  claim 1 , further comprising determining a force in a dynamic mode atomic force microscope measurement by\n moving the oscillating AFM tip over a sample surface while measuring the value of the first parameter; and calculating a force during the oscillating of the AFM tip, between the AFM tip and the sample surface based on the stored correlation between the calculated force and the measured first parameter of the oscillating AFM tip.
