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 …

Recent advances in nanotechnology have led to the development of nano-electro-
mechanical systems (NEMS) such as nanomechanical resonators, which have recently …

This book enlightens readers on the basic surface properties and distance-dependent
intersurface forces one must understand to obtain even simple data from an atomic force …

Current progress on the use of dynamic-mode cantilever sensors for biosensing applications
is critically reviewed. We summarize their use in biosensing applications to date with focus …

for a rectangular cantilever requires measurement of the resonant frequency and quality
factor in fluid (typically air), and knowledge of its plan view dimensions. This intrinsically …

Quality factor (Q) is an important property of micro-and nano-electromechanical (MEM/NEM)
resonators that underlie timing references, frequency sources, atomic force microscopes …

The scientific community needs a rapid and reliable way of accurately determining the
stiffness of atomic-force microscopy cantilevers. We have compared the experimentally …

Atomic force microscope (AFM) users often calibrate the spring constants of cantilevers
using functionality built into individual instruments. This calibration is performed without …

Evolution has tuned membrane proteins to exist in a lipid bilayer, provide for cell-cell
communication, transport solutes, and convert energies. These proteins exhibit a …

The frequency response of a cantilever beam is well known to depend strongly on the fluid
in which it is immersed. In this article, we present a theoretical model for the frequency …
