Abstract
Scanning Microwave Microscopy (SMM) is prominent for providing imaging of sub-surface structures and allowing local quantitative characterization of the sample. A novel technique known as Inverted Scanning Microwave Microscopy (iSMM) is the improvement developed recently to broaden the application beyond the current focus on surface physics and semiconductor technology. With a simple metal probe, the iSMM can be converted from existing atomic force microscopes (AFM) or scanning tunneling microscopes (STM) outperforming the conventional SMM in terms of bandwidth, sensitivity, and dynamic range. The iSMM was primarily used to analyze biological samples as it can operate in liquidI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
