Title: Band Excitation for Scanning Probe Microscopy

Software ·
OSTI ID:1340998

The Band Excitation (BE) technique for scanning probe microscopy uses a precisely determined waveform that contains specific frequencies to excite the cantilever or sample in an atomic force microscope to extract more information, and more reliable information from a sample. There are a myriad of details and complexities associated with implementing the BE technique. There is therefore a need to have a user friendly interface that allows typical microscopists access to this methodology. This software enables users of atomic force microscopes to easily: build complex band-excitation waveforms, set-up the microscope scanning conditions, configure the input and output electronics for generate the waveform as a voltage signal and capture the response of the system, perform analysis on the captured response, and display the results of the measurement.
