A method for reducing laser heating on atomic force microscope tips
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 December 2010
Abstract
This paper studies numerically the temperature reached by atomic force microscope tips illuminated by femtosecond laser pulses, in which the laser focusing dependence of tip heating is investigated in detail and the laser heating effects on different tips are discussed too. The results show that tip heating can be significantly reduced if the femtosecond laser is focused tightly on the tip apex.
