First invented in 1985 by IBM in Zurich, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a scanning probe technique for imaging. It involves a nanoscopic tip attached to a microscopic, flexible cantilever, which is ...
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has evolved into a central technique in nanotechnology, providing three-dimensional imaging and precise measurements at the atomic scale. Its ability to probe surfaces by ...
Force spectroscopy relies on the precise measurement of forces acting on a probe as it interacts with a sample. The key principles of force spectroscopy include: AFM-based force spectroscopy is the ...
