ABSTRACT:
Small amplitude tip-position modulation (TPM) in combination with lock-in detection of the modulated current signal is applied to a scanning electrochemical microscope (SECM) to improve signal-to-noise ratio and to enhance image resolution. Phase shift information from the alternating current TPM signal and the bipolar response of TPM over insulators and conductors make TPM-SECM superior to conventional SECM imaging methods as well as useful for measuring substrate conductivity.
