Abstract:
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), invented in 1980s, has become one of the main surface characterization tools for micro- and nano-scale measurements. AFM is not only capable of capturing topographical information of the surface but also characterizing mechanical, electrical and even magnetic properties. During the recent years, dynamic AFM modes have enabled nano-scale experiments to measure topographical and material composition in a so-called single pass measurement. It is due to this capability that AFM has become a major characterization tool for vast variety of fields such as bio-inspired materials, soft matter or energy related polymers. In this talk, the fundamental modes of AFM imaging are discussed. The new advancement in dynamic AFM,especially multi frequency AFM, is introduced. The goal of this presentation is to introduce the researchers in Mechanical Engineering department to the capabilities of the available AFM system.
