Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis la première image en résolution atomique par microscopie à force atomique (AFM), les avancées de cette technique de champ proche permettent aujourd'hui de manipuler des atomes à température ambiante sur des surfaces conductrices ou isolantes. La compréhension du fonctionnement de cette machine complexe et l'optimisation des réglages des nombreux asservissements est un des objectifs de cet ouvrage. A cette fin, un formalisme analytique provenant des méthodes de l'Automatique non-linéaire sera introduit pour traiter de façon intuitive les blocs de régulation de la machine mais aussi pour traiter l'interaction pointe-surface comme une fonction de transfert. Puis, le rôle capital de la pointe et sa caractérisation seront traités à travers une méthode expérimentale simple et originale. Cette méthode se base sur l'étude des changements non-linéaires des propriétés de résonance de la sonde. Les forces conservatives électrostatiques et van der Waals seront quantifiées. Les forces chimiques seront mises en évidence en mesurant la dissipation de la sonde interagissant avec la surface. Des perspectives seront données pour améliorer la stabilité et le pouvoir de résolution en AFM.

Download or read book Noncontact Atomic Force Microscopy written by S. Morita and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-07-24 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1995, the noncontact atomic force microscope (NC-AFM) has achieved remarkable progress. Based on nanomechanical methods, the NC-AFM detects the weak attractive force between the tip of a cantilever and a sample surface. This method has the following characteristics: it has true atomic resolution; it can measure atomic force interactions, i.e. it can be used in so-called atomic force spectroscopy (AFS); it can also be used to study insulators; and it can measure mechanical responses such as elastic deformation. This is the first book that deals with all of the emerging NC-AFM issues.

Download or read book Principles of Polarography written by Jaroslav Heyrovský and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-11 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Principles of Polarography is a revised and extended version of an original Czech edition that appeared in 1962 at the Publishing House of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in Prague. Based on a one-term course of lectures for third-year students of chemistry at the Charles University it brings the fundamental results of more than forty years' research in the field of polarography. The book contains 22 chapters and opens with a discussion of the principles of polarography. This is followed by separate chapters on polarizable electrodes used in polarography; charging current; influence of the resistance of the electrolyte on polarographic curves; migration and diffusion-controlled currents; and equation of a reversible polarographic wave. Subsequent chapters deal with reversible processes controlled by diffusion of complex ions; reversible reduction of organic substances; deposition of mercury ions; irreversible electrode processes; applications of limiting currents; polarographic curves for the formation of semiquinones and dimers; and catalytic hydrogen currents.

Download or read book Flexoelectricity in Liquid Crystals written by Agnes Buka and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2013 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book intends to give a state-of-the-art overview of flexoelectricity, a linear physical coupling between mechanical (orientational) deformations and electric polarization, which is specific to systems with orientational order, such as liquid crystals. Chapters written by experts in the field shed light on theoretical as well as experimental aspects of research carried out since the discovery of flexoelectricity. Besides a common macroscopic (continuum) description the microscopic theory of flexoelectricity is also addressed. Electro-optic effects due to or modified by flexoelectricity as well as various (direct and indirect) measurement methods are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the role of flexoelectricity in pattern-forming instabilities. While the main focus of the book lies in flexoelectricity in nematic liquid crystals, peculiarities of other mesophases (bent-core systems, cholesterics, and smectics) are also reviewed. Flexoelectricity has relevance to biological (living) systems and can also offer possibilities for technical applications. The basics of these two interdisciplinary fields are also summarized.
