Calculation of the effect of tip geometry on noncontact atomic force microscopy using a qPlus sensor
In qPlus atomic force microscopy the tip length can in principle approach the length of the cantilever. We present a detailed mathematical model of the effects this has on the dynamic properties of the qPlus sensor. The resulting, experimentally confirmed motion of the tip apex is shown to have a la...
