Special SPM applications

Institut Néel, Grenoble, France: Dr. Serge Huant preferred the Nanonis controller for his homebuilt microscopes. He now uses three Nanonis systems for Scanning Gate Microscopy at liquid helium temperature with tuning fork, a very sensitive microscope with interferometry detection to measure Casimir forces as well as a SNOM with photo-counter.

DPMC, Université de Genève, Switzerland: Prof. Patrycja Paruch switched to Nanonis to control an Omicron VT-AFM. It is now possible to easily switch between any AFM modes including piezo-response force microscopy (PFM). The OC4 is either used as a PLL or fast digital lock-in.

---

Chemistry Department, University of California in Los Angeles, USA: Prof. Jim Gimzewski opted for two complete Nanonis controllers for his original home-built Electrochemical-STM with atomic resolution in air or in liquid.

---

Federal Laboratories for Materials Testing, Dübendorf, Switzerland: In the group of Dr. Urs Sennhauser the home-built Scanning Near Field Optical Microscope (SNOM) is controlled by Nanonis SPM controller combined with the oscillation control module.

---

IMRE, Singapore: For his home-built BEEM microscope, Dr. Cédric Troadec preferred the Nanonis control system for maximum flexibility. For instance, the integration of the attocube positioners is done seamlessly through the Nanonis software.

---

Institut Néel, Grenoble, France. Prof. Hervé Courtois uses Nanonis to control his home-built STM/AFM with tuning fork and operating in an inverted dilution refrigerator. He appreciates the flexibility offered by the Nanonis programming interface in LabVIEW.

---

Nanotechnology Group, ETH Zurich, Switzerland: A control system with a double Phase Locked Loop to control a Veeco Multimode AFM in the group of Prof. A. Stemmer. The KPFM module is used in an advanced single pass technique. See the paper in Nanotechnology for the results.

---

Universität Regensburg, Germany: Prof. Ch. Back uses a Nanonis system for his home-made BEEM. The magnetization of the sample is controlled directly from the Nanonis interface.

---

Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium: Nanophysics group of Prof. Chris Van Haesendonck uses an extended Nanonis SPM control system for RF spectroscopy measurements with a home-built LT-SPM to investigate carbon nanotubes.

---

Catalysis Research Center, Hokkaido University, Japan: Dr. S. Suzuki uses the Nanonis SPM Control System for research with a Unisoku UHV AFM at the beamline of the Photon Factory in Tsukuba, Japan.

---

Laboratory of Ultrafast Spectroscopy, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland: Home-built Scanning Near Field Optical Microscope (SNOM) controlled by a Nanonis SPM control system with the oscillation control module.
