Atomic Force Microscopy Cantilevers with High Aspect Ratio Tip
Technology Benefits
High aspect ratioHigh strengthExtraordinary nanometer scale resolutionVery much robust
Technology Application
Microscope designing for viewing nano structures
Detailed Technology Description
"Researchers at the University of South Floridahave developed a method for the selectivegrowth of single carbon nanotubes (CNT) on thetip apex of a conventional cantilever. SelectiveCNT growth is established by coating the backside of a cantilever, having a through-hole at a tip apex, with a catalyst material followed by a cover layer. The exposed catalyst at the bottom of the hole at the apex of the cantilever induces growth of a single CNT at this location."
