Surface potential of chalcopyrite films measured by KPFM
Atomic force microscopy is widely used to characterize the surface topography of a variety of samples. Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) additionally allows determining images of the surface potential with nanometer resolution. The KPFM technique will be introduced and studies on surfaces of chalcopyrite semiconductors for solar cell absorbers will be presented. It is shown that operation in...
متن کاملDissolution dynamics of thin films measured by optical reflectance.
Measuring the dissolution dynamics of thin films in situ both with spatial and temporal resolution can be a challenging task. Available methods such as scanning electrochemical microscopy rely on scanning the specimen and are intrinsically slow. We developed a characterization technique employing only an optical microscope, a digital charge coupled device camera, and a computer for image proces...
متن کاملSurface Evaluation of Resin Zein Films Containing Sugar Plasticizers by Permeability and Atomic Force Microscopy Analysis
Zein is one of the best biopolymer for edible film making and sugars are natural plasticizers for biopolymers. In this research, sugars (fructose, galactose and glucose) at three levels (0.5, 0.7, 1 g/g of zein) were used as plasticizers for zein protein films and their water vapor permeability (WVP), oxygen permeability (OP) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) topography were studied. The p...
متن کاملChanges in Plasma Membrane Surface Potential of PC12 Cells as Measured by Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy
The plasma membrane of a cell not only works as a physical barrier but also mediates the signal relay between the extracellular milieu and the cell interior. Various stimulants may cause the redistribution of molecules, like lipids, proteins, and polysaccharides, on the plasma membrane and change the surface potential (Φ(s)). In this study, the Φ(s)s of PC12 cell plasma membranes were measured ...
متن کاملTopography and work function measurements of thin MgO(001) films on Ag(001) by nc-AFM and KPFM.
The surface topography and local surface work function of ultrathin MgO(001) films on Ag(001) have been studied by noncontact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM) and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). First principles calculations have been used to explain the contrast formation of nc-AFM images. In agreement with literature, thin MgO films grow in islands with a quasi rectangular shape. Contra...
