Progress in Tip Modeling

Abstract

Progress since the last Industrial Applications of Scanned Probe Microscopy workshop in the estimation of tip geometries for scanned probe microscopes is discussed. A new method which does not require calibration of the tip characterizers has been developed. It has potentially significant advantages over the previous methods.
