Here we present an extension of optical beam deflection (OBD) method for measuring displacement and vibrations array microcantilevers. Instead focusing on the cantilever, is either focused above or below cantilever array, only in axis parallel to cantilevers length, allowing a wide line span multiple array. Each reflects part incident beam, which then directed onto photodiode detector manner distinguishing between individual beams. reflected behaves like single roughly same divergence angle...
Within last two years, we have shown the positive-tone, development-less patterning of calixarene molecular glass resists using highly confined electric field, current-controlled scanning probe lithography scheme. Herein, give a more detailed view insight describing applied Scanning Probe Lithography (SPL) technology platform applying selfactuating, self-sensing cantilever. The experimental results are supported by first preliminary simulation estimating local field strength, electron...
We propose a novel method for simultaneous readout of static bending and multimode resonance-frequency microcantilever. The method, as opposed to the currently most common approach, requires no external excitation microcantilever's vibrations. It utilizes intrinsic thermal Brownian noise allows monitoring frequencies several flexural torsional vibration modes simultaneously along with twisting in both gaseous liquid environments. have developed complete measurement setup investigating...

In this paper we propose a method for linearization of split-diode photodetector's readout characteristics in optical beam deflection (OBD) system.

A microstage electromagnetically actuated microcantilevers are used to characterize detector establish model's parameters. After linearization, differential from 2-cantilever...

For cantilever sensors, working in deflection mode, targeted functionalization of selected side is great importance for many biochemical and medical applications. To find the optimal method sensitive reference pair, we compared several protocols targeting biological molecules. Monocrystalline silicon wafers covered with native oxide layer on one gold were used as model surfaces.
