Electrostatic-free piezoresponse force microscopy
Contact and non-contact based atomic force microscopy (AFM) approaches have been extensively utilized to explore various nanoscale surface properties. In most AFM-based measurements, a concurrent electrostatic effect between the AFM tip/cantilever and sample surface can occur. This electrostatic effect often hinders accurate measurements. Thus, it is very important to quantify as well as remove...
متن کاملRoom-temperature single-electron charging detected by electrostatic force microscopy.
We use atomic force microscopy to measure electron addition spectra of individual Au nanoparticles that exhibit Coulomb blockade at room temperature. The cantilever tip charges individual nanoparticles supported on an ultra-thin NaCl film via single-electron tunneling from the metal back electrode. The tunneling is detected by measuring frequency shift and damping of the oscillating cantilever....
متن کاملCharge Patterning on Sapphire Studied by Electrostatic Force Microscopy
The ability of insulating materials to trap charges is a phenomenon of interest in many technological fields such as information storage, electron beam lithography and formation of electrets for instance. However, charge-trapping characteristics are not well understood in spite of a large amount of studies carried out mainly by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) [1,2] and more recently by atomi...
متن کاملA Bi-Directional Out-of-Plane Actuator by Electrostatic Force
Presented in this paper is a bi-directional out-of-plane actuator which combines the merits of the electrostatic repulsive principle and the electrostatic attractive principle. By taking advantage of the electrostatic repulsive mode, the common “pull-in” instability can be lessened to enlarge the displacement, and by applying the electrostatic attractive mode, the out-of-plane displacement is f...
متن کاملChemical separations by bubble-assisted interphase mass-transfer.
We show that when a small amount of heat is added close to a liquid-vapor interface of a captive gas bubble in a microchannel, interphase mass-transfer through the bubble can occur in a controlled manner with only a slight change in the temperature of the fluid. We demonstrate that this method, which we refer to as bubble-assisted interphase mass-transfer (BAIM), can be applied to interphase ch...
