The development of atomic force microscopy (AFM) over the past 20 years has had a major
impact on materials science, surface science and various areas of biology, and it is now a …

This article reviews the achievements of both atomic resolution and subnanometer
(molecular) resolution in ambient conditions by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The …

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 study the structural properties of water surrounding a carbon nanotube using molecular
dynamics simulations. The interaction potentials involve a description of the carbon …

True atomic resolution of frequency-modulation atomic force microscopy in liquid is
demonstrated. Hexagonal lattice of a cleaved (001) surface of muscovite mica is resolved in …

Direct and simultaneous measurements of the normal and lateral forces encountered by a
nanosize spherical silicon tip approaching a solid surface in purified water are reported. For …

The current status and future prospects of non‐contact atomic force microscopy (nc‐AFM)
and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) for studying insulating surfaces and thin …

The interactions between water and biological molecules have the potential to influence the
structure, dynamics, and function of biological systems, hence the importance of revealing …

Understanding the influence of water layers adjacent to interfaces is fundamental in order to
fully comprehend the interactions of both biological and nonbiological materials in aqueous …

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 …
