Underlying near-field optical effects on the nanoscale have stimulated the development of
apertureless vibrational spectroscopy and imaging with ultrahigh spatial resolution. We …

We present a new analytical method for concentration measurements of nano objects of
different nature such as polystyrene nanoparticles or viruses. The method is based on …

A conjugate gradient method based on inverse algorithm is applied in this study to estimate
the unknown space-and time-dependent heat source in aluminum-coated tapered optical …

Surface plasmons are electromagnetic surface waves confined to the region between two
dielectrics and a conductor. These waves have unique features, since the field at the …

In this paper, we study the dynamic modes of a scanning near-field optical microscope
(SNOM) which uses an optical fiber probe; and the sensitivity of flexural and axial vibration …

In this paper the Rayleigh–Ritz method was used to study the scanning near-field optical
microscope (SNOM) with a tapered optical fiber probe's flexural and axial sensitivity to …

This study proposes a means for calculating the interaction force during the scanning
process using a scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) probe. The determination of …

The authors report the investigation of surface plasmon waves (SPW) generated by single
nanohole and nanohole arrays. Scattering-type scanning near-field microscopy is used to …

LiF films and crystals containing lithium colloids have been studied by scanning near-field
optical microscopy (SNOM). Scattering phenomena and possible wave-guided modes have …

The effect of interactive damping on the flexural vibration frequency for the scanning near-
