In this review paper, traditional and novel demodulation methods applicable to amplitude-
modulation atomic force microscopy are implemented on a widely used digital processing …

A fundamental challenge in dynamic mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) is the estimation
of the cantilever oscillation amplitude from the deflection signal, which might be distorted by …

The scan rate and image resolution of the atomic force microscope (AFM) operating in
tapping-mode may be im proved by modifying the quality (Q) factor of the AFM micro …

The atomic force microscope (AFM)[1] is a mechanical microscope capable of producing
three-dimensional images of a wide variety of sample surfaces with nanometer precision in …

We propose to use the State Estimation by Sum-of-Norms Regularisation (STATESON-)
algorithm for recovering the tip-sample interaction in high-speed tapping mode atomic force …

A novel imaging method for atomic force microscopy based on estimation of state and
parameters is presented. The cantilever dynamics is modeled as a linear system augmented …

This paper proposes a new dynamic mode of operation in an Atomic Force Microscope
(AFM) where the deflection signal is used for force regulation instead of its derivatives such …

Adaptive multiloop-mode (AMLM) imaging to substantially increase (over an order of
magnitude) the speed of tapping-mode (TM) imaging is tested and evaluated through …

This research focused on generating the knowledge required to design and fabricate a high-
speed application flexible, low average cost multipurpose compliant nanopositioner …

The research activity of this Ph. D. thesis is grounded is founded by the European Interreg
