The problem of AFM cantilever calibration from a thermal noise spectrum is considered. A large volume of preliminary work is required to use this method, along with consideration of numerous factors. Use of a synchronous detector allowed us to reduce the requirements for the measuring system and increase the accuracy of spring constant measurement. The respective experimental results are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
