Advances in atomic force microscopy

TL;DR: The most widely used technique for atomic-resolution force microscopy in vacuum is frequency-modulation AFM (FM-AFM), as well as other dynamic methods as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct measurement of colloidal forces using an atomic force microscope

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the atomic force microscope to measure the forces between a planar surface and an individual colloid particle, a silica sphere of radius 3.5 µm, attached to the force sensor in the microscope and measured in solutions of sodium chloride.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrochemical Biosensors - Sensor Principles and Architectures

TL;DR: In this article, the most common traditional traditional techniques, such as cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, chronopotentiometry, impedance spectroscopy, and various field-effect transistor based methods are presented along with selected promising novel approaches, including nanowire or magnetic nanoparticle-based biosensing.
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of edge structure on the electronic properties of graphene quantum dots and nanoribbons.

TL;DR: In this paper, the electronic structure of GNRs and GQDs with 2-20 nm lateral dimensions was verified by tunnelling spectroscopy, and it was shown that GNRs with a higher fraction of zigzag edges exhibit a smaller energy gap than a predominantly armchair-edge ribbon of similar width, and the magnitudes of measured GNR energy gaps agree with recent theoretical calculations.

Theory and Application for the Scanning Tunneling Microscope

TL;DR: In this article, a theory for vacuum tunneling between a real solid surface and a model probe with a locally spherical tip is presented, applicable to the recently developed "scanning tunneling microscope."
Journal ArticleDOI

Tunneling through a controllable vacuum gap

TL;DR: In this article, the first successful tunneling experiment with an externally and reproducibly adjustable vacuum gap is reported, based on the exponential dependence of the tunneling resistance on the width of the gap.

7 × 7 Reconstruction on Si(111) Resolved in Real Space

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified adatom model with 12 adatoms per unit cell and an inhomogeneously relaxed underlying top layer was used for Si(111) reconstruction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scanning tunneling microscopy

TL;DR: In this article, the surface topographies in real space and work function profiles on an atomic sale were obtained using scanning tunneling microscopy, a novel technique based on vacuum tunneling.

The Topografiner: An Instrument for Measuring Surface Microtopography

TL;DR: In this paper, a non-contacting instrument for measuring the microtopography of metallic surfaces has been developed to the point where the feasibility of constructing a prototype instrument has been demonstrated.
