CoreAFM

The Nanosurf CoreAFM is a compact, fully-featured research atomic force microscope combining broad mode coverage with a small footprint, making it suitable for labs where space is at a premium but full research capability is required.

Scanner and mechanics:
– XY scan range: 110×110 um (closed loop); Z range: 22 um
– Closed-loop XY and Z scanner: quantitative, calibrated measurements without piezo creep
– Compact scan head: fits into vacuum chambers and environmental enclosures
– Sample stage: up to 90 mm diameter samples

Imaging and measurement modes:
– Contact: topography, lateral force (LFM), friction mapping
– AM-AFM (tapping): topography and phase imaging in air and liquid
– Force spectroscopy: force-distance curves, force maps, adhesion, Young’s modulus
– MFM: magnetic domain imaging; two-pass interleave
– EFM and KPFM: surface potential mapping, work function imaging
– PFM: piezoresponse force microscopy for ferroelectric domains
– Conductive AFM (C-AFM): local current maps simultaneous with topography

Electrical measurement options:
– Lock-in amplifier: dual-frequency, phase-sensitive detection for PFM and EFM
– Bias spectroscopy: local I-V curves on semiconductor and dielectric surfaces
