Lateral force microscopy (LFM) is a variation of atomic/scanning force microscopy
(AFM/SFM). It relies on the torsional deformation of the AFM cantilever that results from the …

Rational innovation of electrocatalysts requires detailed knowledge of spatial property
variations across the solid–electrolyte interface. We introduce correlative atomic force …

Torsional and lateral vibrations of atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilevers can be used to
measure elastic and frictional properties on a nanoscale. Recently a new dynamic operation …

The scanning probe microscopy field has been rapidly expanding. It is a demanding task to
collect a timely overview of this field with an emphasis on technical developments and …

The phase behavior of a “simple” Lennard-Jones (12, 6) fluid confined between planar
substrates has been investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulations in the grand …

Laser ablation of single-crystalline indium phosphide (InP) was performed in air by means of
linearly polarized Ti: sapphire femtosecond pulses (800 nm, 130 fs, 10 Hz). As a result of the …

We discuss equilibrium properties of classical fluids confined to nanoscopic volumes by
solid substrates. The substrates themselves are endowed with wettable chemical patterns of …

Beyond measuring the topography of surfaces, scanning force microscopy (SFM) has
proved to be valuable both for map** of various materials properties and for modifying …

The two volumes 165 and 166 Polyelectrolytes with Defined Molecular Architecture
summarize recent progress in the field. The subjects comprise novel polyelectrolyte …

Friction is present in our every day lives. There are unwanted phenomena such as energy
loss in the relative motion of contacting surfaces (eg, gears, bearings or sealings). For …
