A non-contact (nc) atomic force microscope (AFM) is developed for operation in ultra-high vacuum at a base temperature of 300 mK. The AFM is based on an ultra-compact quartz needle sensor oscillating at 1 MHz with a 7.5 µ m thick tungsten tip glued to one end of the needle allowing for simultaneous operation of AFM and STM [1]. Nanopositioners with resistive readout and a scanner with a large low-temperature scan range of 30×30 µ m2 are used. Additionally, HF wiring for an antenna and a capillary for supply of gases, both close to the junction, are provided. The AFM setup is mounted on a removable insert (mK-stick) for usage in an existing millikelvin system based on adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration (ADR) [2]. Due to the modularity of the mK-sticks a quick exchange is possible without any need for warming up the LHe cryostat.
