| Research Abstract |
Atomic resolution has been achieved by the non-contact atomic force microscopy (ncAFM) in ultra high vacuum, and several experimental groups are observing very clear atomic scale images of surfaces. Therefore we aimed in the present work, elucidation of the mechanism of ncAFM and development of the quantitative analyses method of the images from the first-principles theory. To elucidate the mechanism, it is necessary to understand how the oscillation frequency is influenced by the nonoliniear interaction between the tip and the surface, as well as the net force and its microscopic distribution and the effect of the dissipation. In this year we developed the theoretical simulation method based on the first-principles calculation of the tip-surface interaction force, which is mathematically transformed to the frequency shift forming the image with the help of the 2-dimensional Fourier expansion method. The theory is applied to Si(111)7x7, and Si(111)√3x√3-Ag surface and compared well with experiments. Furthermore theory of the noncontact dissipasive force microscopy is developed. This method is found to be suitable to detect nano-mechanical properties of the atoms/molecules and nano-structures on surfaces. Even the idetification of the atoms can be expected by this method, using the different disspation depending on the atomic mass.
