Tipless Cantilevers Research Articles

Combinatorial chemistry

By attaching a range of chemically modified nanoparticles to a microfabricated array of tipless cantilevers, large combinations of chemical interactions can be measured

Growth of Carbon Nanofibers on Tipless Cantilevers for High Resolution Topography and Magnetic Force Imaging

Carbon nanofibers are grown on tipless cantilevers as probe tips for scanning probe microscopy. A catalyst dot pattern for carbon nanofiber growth is formed on the surface of the tipless cantilevers using electron beam lithography, and the growth of carbon nanofibers is performed in a direct-current plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition reactor. Atomic force surface imaging and magnetic force-gradient imaging have been demonstrated using these probe tips.
