MSc in SCIENCE (Full-Time Research Project)
MSc Project Title: - Design of a modular control system for a Scanning Force Microscope (SFM) data acquisition system.
MSc Project Background: - Scanning Force Microscopy is currently an active area of research within the School of Physics, which has a particularly interest in the study of magnetic materials and media for high density recording. Scanning probe microscopy is a new technique for investigating the topography and structure of a surface on a scale down to the atomic level. A miniature probe tip attached to a cantilever is scanned across the surface to be examined and a range of force interactions are sensed by measuring the deflection of the sensor; - the height of the tip above the surface is maintained constant by a control system.
MSc Project Description: - This project involved the modelling, design and construction of a set of feedback control modules for the Scanning Force Microscope (SFM). Initially, the feedback loop of the SFM was modelled and a PI control loop designed. This was then implemented in high quality analogue circuitry as a set of modules suitable for a 19" rack system. The modules were then inserted in the existing data acquisition system and performance tested during imaging. A flexible system was achieved which can be altered or added to easily, when necessary, in the future.
