On the control of bistability in non-contact mode AFM using modulated time delay

We study the control of bistability in non-contact mode AFM using time delay with modulated feedback gain. We consider that the tip-sample interaction force is described by Lennard-Jones potential and the equation of motion is modeled by single degree of freedom system. Perturbation analysis is per...
