| Research Abstract |
Atmic force micrscopy (AFM) is expected not only as a mesurement tool but also as a novel nano-machining tool in molecular science field such as molecular surgery. In order to relize nano-machining and in-situ molecular imaging with high resolution, this research focused on the development of narrow-gapped dual AFM probe with individual nano-tips on each cantilever for nano-machining and imaging. Self-align etching process was developed to fabricate a sharp dual tip separated by 500 nm. A dual cantilever with magneto-strictive film (FePd alloy) was also developed as a low noise actuator for switching the two tips by external magnetic field.
