Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an ideal method to study the surface topography of
biological membranes. It allows membranes that are adsorbed to flat solid supports to be …

Interfacial phenomena at solid/water interfaces play an important role in a wide range of
industrial technologies and biological processes. However, it has been a great challenge to …

Written by three leading experts in the field, this book describes and explains all essential
aspects of scanning probe microscopy. Emphasis is placed on the experimental design and …

We experimentally demonstrate the high-sensitivity optical monitoring of a micromechanical
resonator and its cooling by active control. Coating a low-loss mirror upon the resonator, we …

Solid–liquid interfaces play a fundamental role in surface electrochemistry, catalysis,
wetting, self-assembly and biomolecular functions. The interfacial energy determines many …

We have developed a liquid-environment frequency modulation atomic force microscope
(FM-AFM) with a low noise deflection sensor for a wide range of cantilevers with different …

Single-crystal diamond optomechanical devices have the potential to enable fundamental
studies and technologies coupling mechanical vibrations to both light and electronic …

Sensitive transduction of the motion of a microscale cantilever is central to many
applications in mass, force, magnetic resonance, and displacement sensing. Reducing …

Voltage-dependent anion channels (VDACs) are major constituents of the outer
mitochondrial membrane (OMM). These primary transporters of nucleotides, ions and …

Structural variability and flexibility are crucial factors for biomolecular function. Here we have
reduced the invasiness and enhanced the spatial resolution of atomic force microscopy …
