Amplitude modulation atomic force microscopy based on higher flexural modes

In this work, amplitude modulation atomic force microscopy (AM-AFM) based on the higher flexural modes of the microcantilever is investigated by a numerical approach. The amplitude-distance and phase-distance curves for the first four flexural modes are obtained and compared. The dependence of phase...
