Machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML/AI) are rapidly becoming an indispensable
part of physics research, with domain applications ranging from theory and materials …

Ferroelectric materials have remained one of the major focal points of condensed matter
physics and materials science for over 50 years. In the last 20 years, the development of …

In this work we briefly describe the most relevant features of WSXM, a freeware scanning
probe microscopy software based on MS-Windows. The article is structured in three different …

In this report we review the fundamentals, applications and future tendencies of dynamic
atomic force microscopy (AFM) methods. Our focus is on understanding why the changes …

Attractive and repulsive tip-sample interaction regimes of a force microscope operated with
an amplitude modulation feedback were investigated as a function of tip-sample separation …

The structure of water at the interface with other materials is thought to determine their
wetting properties and underlies the vast array of phenomena known under the names of …

Excitonic mechanisms of defect formation and of sputtering from surfaces, induced as a
consequence of exciton relaxation, are effective in a limited class of wide-gap materials …

More than one century ago, Lippmann found that capillary forces can be effectively
controlled by external electrostatic forces. As a simple example, by applying a voltage …

This review article aims to provide an updated and comprehensive description on the
development of atomic force microscopy (AFM) nanolithography for structuring and …

Scanning tunneling microscopy appeared as a new method to deal with atoms, molecules,
and nanometer-scale structures. It was the first of a growing family of local probes for …
