摘要
We have developed a scanning evanescent microwave microscope with shielded tip geometry allowing quantitative characterization of the electrical impedance of insulating and conducting materials. By modeling the tip-sample capacitance, quantitative estimates of the sample (both dielectric and conducting) electrical impedance (real and imaginary) and tip-sample separation can be made. Measurements of the tip-sample capacitance versus tip-sample separation have been made and agree with estimated values. Also, the slope of the tip-sample capacitance with respect to the tip-sample distance is calculated to implement tip-sample distance regulation for dielectric materials.
