Nearly all scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) contain a feedback controller, which is used to move the scanner in the direction of the z-axis in order to maintain a constant setpoint based on the tip-sample interaction. The most frequently used feedback con ...
The scanning thermal microscope (SThM) has become a versatile tool for local surface temperature mapping or measuring thermal properties of solid materials. In this article, we present recent improvements in a SThM system, based on a micro-wire thermocoupl ...
We experimentally demonstrate critical coupling of whispering gallery mode (WGM) disk resonators implemented on a Bloch surface wave platform using scanning near-field optical microscopy. The studied structure is a 60 nm thick TiO 2 TiO2 WGM disk cavity (r ...
In this thesis, we explore a combination of analog and digital holographic techniques to demonstrate high speed quantitative phase imaging (QPI) using low coherence (broad bandwidth) light sources. Off-axis digital holographic microscopy is inherently a co ...
The 2D-molecular thin film analysis protocol for fully grown mice oocytes is described using an innovative approach. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and optical mi ...
Life sciences have a constantly growing need for novel methodological approaches suitable to investigate the intracellular environment with increased temporal and spatial resolutions. Recently, optical near-field probes, such as laser-irradiated pointed me ...
The control of light emission on the scale of individual quantum systems, like molecules or quantum dots, is a field of intense current research. One way to induce light emission from these systems is the local charge injection through the tip of a scannin ...
A detailed investigation and characterization of the local properties of individual nanoscopic structures is of great importance for the understanding of novel physical phenomena at the nanoscale as well as for the assessment of their possible use in futur ...
We present a detailed low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) study of the commensurate charge density wave (CDW) in 1T-TiSe2 in the presence of single atom defects. We find no significant modification of the CDW lattice in single crystals with ...
A precise estimation of the edge strength becomes an important issue when designing structural glass beams or façade mullions. However, in literature, the glass edge strength is poorly documented compared to the surface strength. In particular, the experim ...
