Fast, high-resolution, non-destructive and quantitative characterization methods are needed
to develop materials with tailored properties at the nanoscale or to understand the …

The atomic force microscope (AFM) is not only a tool to image the topography of solid
surfaces at high resolution. It can also be used to measure force-versus-distance curves …

Although the atomic structure of amorphous alloys, which lacks long-range translational
symmetry, may appear homogeneous at the macroscopic scale, their local dynamic and/or …

This article reviews the progress of atomic force microscopy in ultrahigh vacuum, starting
with its invention and covering most of the recent developments. Today, dynamic force …

Biosensors and nanoscale analytical tools have shown huge growth in literature in the past
20 years, with a large number of reports on the topic of 'ultrasensitive','cost-effective', and …

Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) is a tool that enables nanometer-scale imaging of the
surface potential on a broad range of materials. KPFM measurements require an …

interface science, fully updated with new content on wetting, spectroscopy, and coatings …

We present an overview of the main techniques for production and processing of graphene
and related materials (GRMs), as well as the key characterization procedures. We adopt …

Bi3TiNbO9, a layered ferroelectric photocatalyst, exhibits great potential for overall water
splitting through efficient intralayer separation of photogenerated carriers motivated by a …

Surface nanobubbles are nanoscopic gaseous domains on immersed substrates which can
survive for days. They were first speculated to exist about 20 years ago, based on stepwise …
