| dc.description | We have developed a low-temperature scanning probe microscope using a quartz tuning fork operating at 4.2 K. A silicon tip from a commercial cantilever was attached to one prong of the tuning fork. With a metallic coating, a potential could be applied to the tip to sense the charge distribution in a sample, while with a magnetically coated tip, magnetic force imaging could be performed. For the coarse approach mechanism, we developed a reliable low-temperature walker with low material cost and simple machining. We have obtained Coulomb force images of boron nanowires at room temperature and magnetic nano-structures at low temperature. For lift-mode scanning, we employed a frequency detection mode for the first topographic scan and phase detection mode for the second lift scan. | |
