摘要
We present a numerical method to model electric-field-sensitive scanning probe microscopy measurements which allows for a tip of arbitrary shape and invokes image charges to exactly account for a sample dielectric overlayer. The method is applied to calculate the spatial resolution of a subsurface charge accumulation imaging system, achieving reasonable agreement with experiment. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
