Description
1. Introduction
The Electrostatics and Surface Physics Laboratory (ESPL) at the NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is looking to procure an integrated high-vacuum atomic force microscopy (AFM) system. The system will be used to measure atomic-level forces of various materials, including adhesion and electrostatic forces. It will also be used to generate topographical maps of different surfaces. This system must follow the requirements as listed in Section 2. The required period of performance is described in Section 3.
2.Technical Requirements
System shall consist of flexure-guided XY scanner, AFM head, multiple sample mount, motorized XY stage, motorized Z stage, motorized focus stage, direct on-axis optics, integrated active vibration isolation, vacuum chamber, high-vacuum controller, vacuum instrument controller, vacuum pumps (dry backing pump, turbomolecular pump), control electronics, AFM software, image analysis software, vacuum manager software, computer, monitors, cabinet, and table.
System shall use coordinate frame defined by the vendor and use that coordinate frame for compliance to these requirements.
System shall be instrumented to performing AFM, Scanning probe microscopy (SPM), Electrostatic Force Microscopy (EFM), Lateral Force Microscopy (LFM), and Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM).
System shall quantitatively measure adhesion forces on a sample.
System shall quantitatively measure surface potential and work function on a sample.
System shall enable adjustment of all software functions and settings.
System shall provide and/or enable scripting by the customer for automating data acquisition.
System shall have a Computer with Windows OS installed to interface with all measurement equipment.
System shall have a minimum 100 µm x 100 µm x 15 µm X, Y, and Z scan range, respectively.
System shall have no less than 20-bit XYZ positional accuracy.
System shall have no less than 20-bit XYZ...
