Abstract
The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for dual resonance frequency enhanced electrostatic force microscopy. One method includes applying an alternating current (AC) bias and a direct current (DC) bias to an atomic force microscopy cantilever, wherein the AC bias has a frequency greater than a fundamental resonance frequency of the cantilever. The method further includes mechanically vibrating the cantilever at a frequency different from the frequency of the AC bias. The method further includes physically and electrostatically scanning a sample in the same pass using the cantilever while vibrating the cantilever and applying the AC and DC biases to the cantilever, and generating a topology image of the sample from the physical scanning and an electrostatic image of charged material under or on a surface of the sample from the electrostatic scanning.
