We use several techniques to characterize the monolayer formed in air by the electron transfer protein, azurin, self-assembled on a gold substrate in a stable way. Tapping Mode Atomic Force Microscopy ...

Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques are amongst the most important and versatile experimental methods in surface- and nanoscience. Although their measurement principles on rigid surfaces are ...

In this interview, Professor Emeritus Mervyn Miles at the University of Bristol speaks about the history and technology behind Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM). Can ...

Considerable recent progress has been made with respect to the generation, manipulation and characterization of molecules on surfaces using scanning probe microscopy (SPM). Such microscopy involves ...

Invented 30 years ago, the atomic force microscope has been a major driver of nanotechnology, ranging from atomic-scale imaging to its latest applications in manipulating individual molecules, ...

Although atomic resolution has been attained previously for AFM imaging of individual atoms in nanotubes and in unit cells of crystals on surfaces, this is the first time all the atom positions and ...

Definition: Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) is a powerful nanoscale imaging technique capable of providing atomic-level resolution of surface structures. By utilizing the quantum mechanical ...
