Download or read book Surface Analysis with STM and AFM written by Sergei N. Magonov and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-09-26 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are powerful tools for surface examination. In the past, many STM and AFM studies led to erroneous conclusions due to lack of proper theoretical considerations and of an understanding of how image patterns are affected by measurement conditions. For this book, two world experts, one on theoretical analysis and the other on experimental characterization, have joined forces to bring together essential components of STM and AFM studies: The practical aspects of STM, the image simulation by surface electron density plot calculations, and the qualitative evaluation of tip-force induced surface corrugations. Practical examples are taken from: * inorganic layered materials * organic conductors * organic adsorbates at liquid-solid interfaces * self-assembled amphiphiles * polymers This book will be an invaluable reference work for researchers active in STM and AMF as well as for newcomers to the field.

Download or read book Scanning Force Microscopy of Polymers written by G. Julius Vancso and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-08-02 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scope of the Book Synthetic and natural polymers exhibit a complex structural and morphological hierarchy on multiple length scales [1], which determines their performance. Thus, research aiming at visualizing structure and morphology using a multitude of microscopy techniques has received considerable attention since the early days of polymer science and technology. Various well-developed techniques such as optical microscopy and different forms of electron microscopy (Scanning Electron Micr- copy, SEM; Transmission Electron Microscopy, TEM; Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy, ESEM) allow one to view polymeric structure at different levels of magni?cation. These classical techniques, and their applications to po- mers, are well documented in the literature [2, 3]. The invention of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) inspired the devel- ment of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and other forms of scanning proximity microscopes in the late 1980s [4, 5]. AFM, unlike STM, can be used to image n- conducting specimens such as polymers. In addition, AFM imaging is feasible in liquids, which has several advantages. Using liquid imaging cells the forces between specimen and AFM probe are drastically reduced, thus sample damage is prevented. In addition, the use of water as imaging medium opened up new applications aiming at imaging, characterizing, and analyzing biologically important systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literature Review from the year 2015 in the subject Engineering - General, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, course: Mineral Engineering, language: English, abstract: Atomic-scale resolution is needed to study the arrangement of atoms in materials and advancing their understanding. Since the seventeenth-century optical microscopes using visible light as illumination source have led our quest to observe microscopic species but the resolution attainable reached physical limits due to the much longer wavelength of visible light. After the discovery of wave nature associated with particle bodies, a new channel of thought opened considering much shorter wavelength of particles and their special properties when interacting with the sample under observation. These particles i.e. electrons, neutrons and ions were developed in different techniques and were used as illumination sources. Herein, the development of scanning tunneling microscopy which used electrons to uncover irregularities in the arrangement of atoms in thin materials via the quantum mechanical phenomenon of electron tunneling became a sensational invention. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a development over STM which relied on measuring the forces of contact between the sample and a scanning probe which overcame the earlier technique only allowing conductors or pretreated surfaces for conducting to be observed. Since measuring contact forces between materials is a more fundamental approach that is equally but more sensitive than measuring tunneling current flowing between them, atomic force microscopy has been able to image insulators as well as semiconductors and conductors with atomic resolution by substituting tunneling current with an atomic contact force sensing arrangement, a delicate cantilever, which can image conductors and insulators alike via mechanical "touch" while running over surface atoms of the sample. AFM has seen a massive proliferation in hobbyist’s lab in form of ambient-condition scanning environment as opposed to an ultra-high vacuum of sophisticated labs and self-assembled instrumentations. The success of ATM as a cost-effective imaging tool with dramatically increased ease of conceptual understanding and use particularly with the assistance of significant computing power in the form of personal computers which offsets the computational difficulty of resolving experimental information which makes up for physical simplicity of instrument design has seen its proliferation to numerous labs in universities and technology companies worldwide.
