A diagram of a noncontact atomic force microscope (nc-AFM) While it's reassuring to see the real-world basis of molecular diagrams that have littered textbooks and blackboards for decades ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight – Application Note) Most of the material properties investigated by atomic force microscopy AFM are acquired by ... used to measure the surface topography. Figure 1. Schematic ...

Their first approach, using a scanning tunneling microscope, provided images that were too fuzzy. They decided to try the noncontact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM) technique. Felix Fischer ...

Dip-Pen Nanolithography (DPN) is a direct write lithographic technique that uses an atomic force microscope (AFM) to build a pattern on the substrate material rather than etching it away. In the same ...
