Room-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 کاملForce Measurement Enabling Precise Analysis by Dynamic Force Spectroscopy
Dynamic force spectroscopy (DFS) makes it possible to investigate specific interactions between two molecules such as ligand-receptor pairs at the single-molecule level. In the DFS method based on the Bell-Evans model, the unbinding force applied to a molecular bond is increased at a constant rate, and the force required to rupture the molecular bond is measured. By analyzing the relationship b...

متن کاملA measurement of the hysteresis loop in force-spectroscopy curves using a tuning-fork atomic force microscope
Measurements of the frequency shift versus distance in noncontact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) allow measurements of the force gradient between the oscillating tip and a surface (force-spectroscopy measurements). When nonconservative forces act between the tip apex and the surface the oscillation amplitude is damped. The dissipation is caused by bistabilities in the potential energy surface...
متن کاملNanoscale electric polarizability of ultrathin biolayers on insulating substrates by electrostatic force microscopy.
We measured and quantified the local electric polarization properties of ultrathin (∼5 nm) biolayers on mm-thick mica substrates. We achieved it by scanning a sharp conductive tip (<10 nm radius) of an electrostatic force microscope over the biolayers and quantifying sub-picoNewton electric polarization forces with a sharp-tip model implemented using finite-element numerical calculations. We ob...
