Abstract

The dynamic behavior of atomic force microscopy (AFM) cantilevers that have a dagger shape was investigated using a power-series method. The experimental techniques based on the atomic force microscopy (AFM) were developed for characterizing mechanical properties at the nanoscale and applied to a variety of materials and structures. Atomic force acoustic microscopy (AFAM) technique uses spectral information of the AFM cantilever as it vibrates in contact with a sample. The convergence of series was demonstrated and the convergence radius was shown to be related to the given geometry.
