PA01

AFM Tip Evaluation Sample

Product Description

Sample with hard sharp pyramidal nanostructures for characterization of tip shape. The pyramids are triangular with base length in the range 50–100nm and height 50–150nm. The radius of curvature of the sharpest edges is below 5nm.

The structures of the PA01 are covered by a highly wear-resistant layer.

  • pyramid base 50-100nm
  • pyramid height 50-150nm
  • smallest edge radii <5nm
  • active area 5x5mm
  • chip dimensions 5x5x0.7mm
  • available mounted on 12mm metal plate (PA01) or unmounted (PA01/NM)

Application

The exact shape of the scanning probe tip is very important for obtaining AFM images of high quality and accuracy. As new AFM tips with nanometer radii of curvature become widespread, periodic structures that have surface features of similar or greater sharpness should be used to estimate the parameters of the tip. An AFM image of the PA structures is shown above. The AFM image is obtained using an OPUS 240AC-NA probe.
