Development of Cryogenic Photoinduced Force Microscopy: Introduction and Progression — •Shuxia Chen1, Claudia Felser1, Lukas Eng2, and Fabian Menges1 — 1Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids — 2Technische Universität Dresden
Photo-induced Force Microscopy (PiFM) provides access to optical properties at atomic length scales through the detection of near-field optical forces. To date, PiFM experiments have been largely restricted to ambient conditions, with only limited demonstrations in extreme environments such as cryogenic temperatures or high magnetic fields. In this work, we aim to expand PiFM operation to low temperatures and large external magnetic fields. This development opens the door to exploring light matter interactions over an expanded parameter space and in exotic quantum materials.
