The authors include useful  information on the characteristics and limitations of current  state-of-the-art machines as well as the properties of the systems  that will follow in the future. The basic approach is two-fold. First,  fast scanning systems for single probes are treated and, second,  systems with multiple probes operating in parallel are presented.  \u003cbr\u003e  The key components of the SPM are the mechanical microcantilever with  integrated tip and the systems used to measure its deflection. In  essence, the entire apparatus is devoted to moving the tip over a  surface with a well-controlled force. The mechanical response of the  actuator that governs the force is of the utmost importance since it  determines the scanning speed. The mechanical response relates  directly to the size of the actuator; smaller is faster. Traditional  scanning probe microscopes rely on piezoelectric tubes of centimeter  size to move the probe. In future scanning probe systems, the large  actuators will be replaced with cantilevers where the actuators are  integrated on the beam. These will be combined in arrays of multiple  cantilevers with MEMS as the key technology for the fabrication  process.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-02-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461373537\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461373537\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5167-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 159\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359220920460,"sku":"9781461373537","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461373537.jpg?v=1755105460","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461373537","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
