Bruker today announced the release of the Photoconductive Atomic
Force Microscopy (pcAFM) module for its industry leading Dimension
Icon® platform. The new accessory enables sample illumination while
performing nanoscale electrical characterization. In conjunction
with Bruker’s exclusive PeakForce TUNA™ technology, it uniquely
enables highest resolution photoconductivity and correlated
nanomechanical mapping for research on fragile organic light
emitting diode (OLED) and organic photovoltaic (OPV) device
samples. The pcAFM module is compatible with Bruker’s turnkey 1ppm
glove box configuration, addressing the most stringent
environmental control needs of organic photoelectric materials.

“Organic photoelectric materials are already finding large
markets as OLEDs in mobile device displays. There is also
interesting research being conducted on OPV devices,” said Mark R.
Munch, Ph.D., President of Bruker Nano Surfaces Division. “Our new
pcAFM accessory transforms the Dimension Icon AFM into a solution
for dedicated nanoscale organic photoelectric material
research.”
“Nanoscale structure and properties are at the core of key OLED
and OPV performance parameters,” added David V. Rossi, Executive
Vice President and General Manager of Bruker's AFM Business. “Our
new pcAFM module builds on our exclusive PeakForce Tapping™
technology to provide the best, highest resolution data advancing
organic photoelectric material research.”
About the Dimension Icon Photoconductive AFM Module
The Dimension Icon pcAFM accessory is a modular addition to the
Dimension Icon platform designed to retain the system’s top levels
of performance while enabling photoconductivity measurements on
OLEDs, OPVs and other photoelectric materials. It provides uniform
backside sample illumination and can be fiber coupled to
industry-standard solar simulators. In combination with Bruker’s
exclusive PeakForce TUNA, it addresses the key challenge to avoid
sample damage on fragile OLED and OPV samples, thus retaining
highest spatial resolution photoconductivity data. It is fully
compatible with Bruker’s turnkey 1ppm glove box configuration,
guaranteeing that measurements are not compromised by environmental
material degradation.
