| Description | The Amplitude Modulated Scanning addition to VEDA is designed to simulate amplitude modulated scans over specified geometric features with heterogeneous material properties. This tool accurately simulates surface scans performed by an AFM probe controlled by amplitude modulation in either ambient conditions or ultra high vacuum (UVH). The Amplitude Modulated Scanning tool features (a) accurate models of microcantilever dynamics, (b) realistic tip-sample interaction force models, (c) accurate, FORTRAN-based, numerical integration schemes that are well-suited for non-smooth, nonlinear differential equations, and (d) realistic controller dynamics based on amplitude error signal feedback. |
