high-speed atomic force microscopy、azo-polymer

Azo-polymer thin film, containing azo-benzene molecules, forms unique surface reliefs due to photoisomerization reaction under light irradiation. In previous, the formation process of azo-polymer has been studied by observing distinct deformed structures at different irradiation times using atomic force microscopy (AFM). To reveal the formation mechanisms, real-time nanoscale visualization of the azo-polymer deformation process is highly desirable.
In this study, we achieved the real-time observation of the deformation process of azo-polymer thin films using high-speed atomic force microscopy(HS-AFM). HS-AFM can capture AFM image with a high spatial resolution (~1 nm) and temporal resolution (~10 frames per second). We succeeded in real time imaging of azo-polymer deformation process using HS-AFM combined with inverted optical microscope. Through HS-AFM observations under various conditions, the deformation mechanism of azo-polymer can be further understood in the future.
