We have decoupled the intrinsic electrostatic effects arising in monolayer and few-layer MoS
2 from those influenced by the flake-substrate interaction. Using ultrasonic force microscopy …

For the first time, new epitaxial graphene nano-structures resembling charged'bubbles'
and'domes' are reported. A strong influence, arising from the change in morphology, on the …

We investigate the phase imaging of supported graphene using amplitude modulation
atomic force microscopy (AFM), the so-called tap** mode. The phase contrast between …

Advances in the design and fabrication of multifunctional nanostructured materials require
characterization techniques capable of simultaneously map** multiple material properties …

Combining scanning probe microscopy techniques to characterize samples of graphene, a
selfsupporting, single atomic layer hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms, provides far more …

In order to exploit the potential of graphene in next-generation devices, such as
supercapacitors, rechargeable batteries, displays and ultrathin sensors, it is crucial to …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was invented in 1985 by Binnig et al.[1, 2] as a continuation
of Binnig's earlier Nobel Prize [3] winning work on scanning tunnel microscopy [4, 5]. In AFM …

This thesis presents a method for reliably and robustly producing samples of amyloid-β (Aβ)
by capturing them at various stages of aggregation, as well as the results of subsequent …

In this thesis, we mainly study the mechanical, electrical and electromechanical properties of
low-dimensional structures of advanced materials, in particular two-dimensional (2D) …
