Following the High-k workshop organised by NaMLab gGmbH (11-12 March), Oxford Instruments will host a free workshop on Vero, the next-generation AFM that precisely and accurately measures true tip displacement using Quadrature Phase Differential Interferometry (QPDI). Interferometric atomic force microscopes (AFM) mark the next step in the evolution of AFM design providing unprecedented performance without compromise in terms of accuracy, range and noise.
In this workshop we will introduce the basic principles of Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM) with the current challenges and limitations. We will explain how Vero’s QPDI detector provides inherent immunity to common artifacts and sources of measurement error in PFM, such as electrostatic contributions or crosstalk. In addition, we will show how the improved measurement sensitivity allows us to investigate materials with very low piezoelectric coefficients.
In the morning, the workshop will consist of a combination of lectures and live measurements on different piezoelectric materials, such as hafnium oxide and lithium niobate. We will demonstrate the benefits of the interferometric AFM and the advances in Piezoresponse Force Microscopy.
In the afternoon, participants can reserve limited time slots for measurements on their own samples. If you are interested in running your own samples with us in a live demo, please highlight that in the registration form.
