“…In the following 20 years, the theories [4], experiments and fabrications on NSOM developed time and time again. Its applications, including investigating films [5], polymers [6], DNA molecules [7], quantum dots [8], quantum wells [9], food molecules [10], waveguides [11–13], nanoparticles [14], gratings [15], and fabricating nanostructures [16] and nanostorage [17], are also getting wider and wider. In this article, we set up two kinds of different light paths in the NSOM system to investigate the ordinary silicon waveguides.…”

In this article, the ordinary optical waveguides are investigated by the near field optical microscopy (NSOM). Three kinds of experimental systems are set up and the corresponding operation modes of NSOM (illumination mode, illumination‐collection mode and collection mode) are realized and analyzed. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…For the past decade, probe-based recording using scanning probe microscope (SPM) has been under development in order to increase the areal density and to decrease the size of the information storage device. Probe-based recording is expected to achieve an areal recording density well beyond 1 Tbit/in 2 [36]. However, there are still many technical issues to be solved before this technology can be properly implemented.…”

Effects of Self-Assembled Monolayer and PFPE Lubricant on Wear Characteristics of Flat Silicon Tips

et al. 2008

The effects of self-assembled monolayer (SAM) and perfluoropolyether (PFPE) lubricant on the wear characteristics of flat silicon tips were investigated. The wear test consisted of sliding the silicon tips fabricated on a flat silicon specimen against SAM and PFPE (Z-tetraol) coated silicon (100) wafer. The tips were slid at a low speed for about 15 km under an applied load of 39.2 lN. The wear volume of the tip was obtained by measuring the tip profile using an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). It was found that the coatings were effective in reducing the wear of the tips by an order of magnitude from 10 -6 to 10 -7 .

“…Scanning probe data storage systems have been researched for future miniature high-density data storage devices with a recording density beyond 1 Tb inch −2 [1][2][3]. Many research groups have reported various types of recording methods based on scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) [4,5], atomic force microscopy (AFM) [6][7][8][9][10], and scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) [11,12], etc.…”

A thin conductive polymer recording medium with angstrom-scale surface roughness has been formed on template-stripped gold (TSG) surface by surface-graft polymerization for scanning multiprobe data storage. A gold film is deposited on a mica plate, which is bonded onto the silicon substrate with a gold film using gold-gold direct bonding technique. By removing the mica plate, gold surface with the angstrom-scale surface roughness is formed. A conductive polymer film as a recording medium is deposited on the TSG surface by the surface-graft polymerization. As a result, the polymer film with small roughness is obtained. Thus, the use of the TSG surface is efficient way to form the flat conductive polymer film. Finally, reversible electrical modification on the polymer film is demonstrated using atomic force microscopy. These results show the possibility that this formation method of the conductive polymer film provides rewritable recording media with small roughness for scanning multiprobe high-density data storage.
