چکیده
This article reviews recent progress in Japan in the techniques and applications of dynamic mode atomic force microscopy (AFM), specifically focusing on three topics: (1) mechanical discrimination of intermixed two-atom species and their manipulation by frequency modulation (FM) AFM under ultrahigh vacuum; (2) sub-molecular and atomic-resolution imaging in liquids by FM-AFM; and (3) high-speed imaging of biological macromolecules in solution by amplitude modulation (AM) AFM. After reviewing the state of the art of these high-performance AFMs and various techniques that have enabled them, we present future prospects for these AFMs and for technological innovations that will be led by them. These prospects are given from the viewpoint of Japanese groups that have been involved in these three topics.

متن کاملEmpirical Software Engineering Research Roadmap Discussion and Summary
The Dagstuhl working groups’ discussions provide many insightful perspectives and suggestions for defining a roadmap for Empirical Software Engineering (ESE) research. This summary attempts to consolidate these ideas into an overall roadmap. As emphasized in the roadmapping introduction, defining a roadmap is an ongoing process and the resulting roadmap needs to be considered a “living document...
متن کاملEffect of intramonolayer hydrogen bonding of carboxyl groups in self-assembled monolayers on a single force with phenylurea on an AFM probe tip.
The molecular interaction force of the intermonolayer hydrogen bonding between phenylurea groups on a probe tip and carboxyl groups in self-assembled monolayers was measured directly by means of atomic force microscopy in ethanol. Gold-coated AFM probe tips were modified chemically with 2-(N'-phenylureido)ethanethiol possessing a terminal urea moiety, which is a well-known powerful functionalit...
متن کاملNovel tip shape reconstruction method for restoration of AFM topography images using nano-structures with given shapes.
The establishment of more accurate imaging of surface microstructures is needed. The most significant distortion in atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging is induced by the probe tip shape, whenever the sample surface contains features whose dimensions are comparable to the probe tip size. The acquired AFM image is the dilation between the tip shape and the sample topography. To restore the orig...
