Lateral force microscopy (LFM) is a variation of atomic/scanning force microscopy
(AFM/SFM). It relies on the torsional deformation of the AFM cantilever that results from the …

Atomic force microscopy is an amazing technique that allies a versatile methodology (that
allows measurement of samples in liquid, vacuum or air) to imaging with unprecedented …

A general introduction to surface and interfacial forces, perfectly combining theoretical
concepts, experimental techniques and practical applications. In this completely updated …

There is no need to describe the importance of studying the problem of cancer. Atomic force
microscopy (AFM) is a novel technique, arising out of and a form of scanning probe …

Two methods commonly used to measure the normal spring constants of atomic force
microscope cantilevers are the added mass method of Cleveland et al. JP Cleveland et al …

An improved wedge calibration method for quantitative lateral force measurement in atomic
force microscopy is presented. The improved method differs from the original one in several …

A new method for the specific surface energy investigation based on a combination of the
force spectroscopy and the method of nanofriction study using atomic force microscopy was …

A novel diamagnetic lateral force calibrator (D-LFC) has been developed to directly calibrate
atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever-tip or-bead assemblies. This enables an AFM to …

The frequency response of a cantilever beam is strongly dependent on the fluid in which it is
immersed. In a companion study, Sader [J. Appl. Phys. 84, 64,(1998)] presented a …

Over the last century, medicine has come out of the" black bag" and emerged as one of the
most dynamic and advanced fields of development in science and technology. Today …
