- Description
- We present new insights into the modeling of the microcantilever in dynamic mode atomic force microscopy and outline a novel high-bandwidth tip-sample force estimation technique for the development of high-bandwidth z-axis control. Fundamental to the proposed technique is the assumption that in tapping mode atomic force microscopy, the tip-sample force takes the form of an impulse train. Formulating the estimation problem as a Kalman filter, the tip-sample force is estimated directly; thus, potentially enabling high-bandwidth z-axis control by eliminating the dependence of the control technique on microcantilever dynamics and the amplitude demodulation technique. Application of this technique requires accurate knowledge of the models of the microcantilever; a novel identification method is proposed. Experimental data are used in an offline analysis for verification.
