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 …

Insulating substrates allow for in-plane contacted molecular electronics devices where the
molecule is in contact with the insulator. For the development of such devices it is important …

Nanoparticles are considered for applications in domains as various as medical and
pharmaceutical sciences, opto-and microelectronics, catalysis, photovoltaics, spintronics or …

This work compares the morphology of gold nanoparticles (NPs) produced at room
temperature on single-crystalline (MgO nanocubes and plates) and amorphous …

Methods of tailoring molecular thin film morphology and maturation rate were investigated
by noncontact atomic force microscopy. Submonolayer coverages of 3, 4, 9, 10 …

In this work we have performed first-principles calculations based on the spin-polarized
density-functional theory for the adsorption and diffusion of Au, Ag, and Pb atoms on NaCl …

The three-dimensional nanoparticle morphology and the nanoparticle-substrate relationship
during the submonolayer growth of three metals (gold, tantalum, and palladium) on the alkali …

This chapter discusses the production of nanostructured layers by using ns laser pulses. It
focuses on the generation and expansion of the plasma produced by ns laser ablation. The …
