摘 要:We present an approach of second harmonic generation for edge localization of nano-scale defects measurement,based on the impact of the oscillating tip on the sample that induces higher harmonics of the excitation *** harmonic signals of tip motion are measured by the heterodyne *** edge amplitude ratio for the edge characterization can be calculated by a mechanics model and the threshold of edge localization is experimentally determined by second harmonic *** approach has been successfully utilized to measure the pitch of a standard *** results show that the second harmonic is sensitive to locating the edge of nano-scale defects with high accuracy.
