Lateral, normal, and longitudinal spring constants of atomic force microscopy cantilevers
Abstract
For a V-shaped atomic force microscopy cantilever beam, the spring constants in the three principal directions are given in terms of the beam geometry and material properties. For the lateral stiffness, a closed-formed expression is presented. Also, the normal and the longitudinal stiffness are obtained from a few simple equations. The results are compared with a finite element study and found to be very accurate. All spring constants depend strongly on the cantilever thickness, which is difficult to measure. In addition, the lateral and longitudinal stiffness are sensitive to the location and the height of the attached pyramid.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
