CNT-NCH
Carbon Nanotube - Non-Contact / Tapping Mode - High Resonance Frequency
NANOSENSORS™ CNT-NCH AFM probes are designed for maximum-resolution, high-speed and low-force imaging in non-contact mode or tapping mode AFM in air.
- The probe offers unique features:
- - sole Single OR Double Wall Carbon Nanotube at the silicon tip apex
- - average diameter of Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes is 1.2 nm
- - average diameter of Double Wall Carbon Nanotubes is 2.4 nm
- - Carbon Nanotube length shorter than 750nm
- - Carbon Nanotube aligned better than ±20° to the center axis of the silicon tip
- - real Carbon Nanotube – no amorphous or "Diamond like" Carbon spike (no parasitic spikes close to the CNT apex)
- - hydrophobic tip material (CNT)
- - chemically inert
- - self-limiting probe-sample force due to the CNTs lateral flexibility
- - highly doped to dissipate static charge
- - high mechanical Q-factor for high sensitivity
Please note:
NANOSENSORS Carbon Nanotube Probes are designed for high resolution imaging.
NANOSENSORS™ CNT Probes are not suitable for surfaces with high aspect ration structures like very narrow deep trenches or contact holes. They are expert probes that require special care to enable the user to profit from their unique properties and achieve good results. For further information please have a look at our brochure "How to use a Single / Double Wall CNT Probe".
