<scp>WSXM</scp>: A software for scanning probe microscopy and a tool for nanotechnology

Ignacio Horcas, Robert Fernandez, José M. Gómez‐Rodríguez et al. · 1 Jan 2007

In this work we briefly describe the most relevant features of WSXM, a freeware scanning probe microscopy software based on MS-Windows. The article is structured in three different sections: The introduction is a perspective on the importance of software on scanning probe microscopy. The second section is devoted to describe the general structure of the…

Modified Spin-Echo Method for Measuring Nuclear Relaxation Times

S. Meiboom, Deepak Gill · 1 Aug 1958

A spin echo method adapted to the measurement of long nuclear relaxation times (T2) in liquids is described. The pulse sequence is identical to the one proposed by Carr and Purcell, but the rf of the successive pulses is coherent, and a phase shift of 90° is introduced in the first pulse. Very long T2…

Calibration of atomic-force microscope tips

Jeffrey L. Hutter, John Bechhoefer · 1 Jul 1993

Images and force measurements taken by an atomic-force microscope (AFM) depend greatly on the properties of the spring and tip used to probe the sample’s surface. In this article, we describe a simple, nondestructive procedure for measuring the force constant, resonant frequency, and quality factor of an AFM cantilever spring and the effective radius of…

Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer with Improved Resolution

W. C. Wiley, I. H. McLaren · 1 Dec 1955

A new type of ion gun is described which greatly improves the resolution of a nonmagnetic time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The focusing action of this gun is discussed and analyzed mathematically. The validity of the analysis and the practicability of the gun are demonstrated by the spectra obtained. The spectrometer is capable of measuring the relative…

Velocity map imaging of ions and electrons using electrostatic lenses: Application in photoelectron and photofragment ion imaging of molecular oxygen

André T. J. B. Eppink, David H. Parker · 1 Sep 1997

The application of electrostatic lenses is demonstrated to give a substantial improvement of the two-dimensional (2D) ion/electron imaging technique. This combination of ion lens optics and 2D detection makes “velocity map imaging” possible, i.e., all particles with the same initial velocity vector are mapped onto the same point on the detector. Whereas the more common…
