Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that is used to see and measure surface topography, conduct force measurements or manipulate a sample’s surface. It can have nearly ...
At its core, SPM operates on the principle of measuring interactions between a sharp probe and the surface of a material. As the probe scans across the surface, it detects variations in physical ...
Overview of the main types of Scannig Probe Microscope types: Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) – using the tunneling current I between the outermost atom of a conducting probe within an atomic ...
Left: This is a simulated atomic force microscopy image. In this method, the tip of the microscope scans the surface of the sample (here: a single cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPC) molecule), measuring the ...
Due to the nature of light, a traditional optical microscope can be employed to attain a maximum magnification of around 800–1000x. For further magnification, scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) can ...
A technical paper titled “High-speed mapping of surface charge dynamics using sparse scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy” was published by researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, (ORNL), ...
A Czech and Spanish-led research team has demonstrated the ability to distinguish subtle differences between magnetic ground ...
