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 5):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the first sensor comprises a position sensitive detector configured to measure a position of a first light beam on the position sensitive detector reflected by the first cantilever, wherein the position of the first light beam is a function of the first parameter of the AFM tip during the oscillating.
