Evanescent microwave microscopy probe and methodology

摘要

The present invention generally relates to an evanescent microwave spectroscopy probe and methods for making and using the same. Some embodiments relate to a probe in electrical communication with sapphire tuning capacitors that are arranged in parallel. Some embodiments relate to using capacitors arranged in this manner to achieve higher Q values. Furthermore, probe can be used in microwave microscopy applications, and for imaging samples thereby.
