New piezoresistive silicon cantilevers designed specifically for torque magnetometry on microscopic samples have been microfabricated and tested. These levers have been optimized to detect the torque in two directions corresponding to flexion and torsion. ...
A dual axis, raster-scanning laser display based on a monolithic micromachined scanning mirror is presented. The scanner consists of a micromirror located at the end of a thermally actuated bimorph beam. The novelty of the device is that an "L"-shape canti ...
Crystals of hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) with aliphatic dicarboxylic acids in 1:1 molar ratio exhibit different behaviour depending on the number n of carbons in the aliphatic chain. For n=8 and 10, incommensurate phases have been observed, while for n=9, ...
The contrast mechanisms of domain imaging experiments assisted by atomic force microscope (AFM) have been investigated by model experiments on nonpiezoelectric (silicon oxide) and piezoelectric [Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3] thin films. The first step was to identify the ...
We used a combination of internal photoemission and of near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) to study the lateral Variations in solid interface properties such as energy barriers and electron-hole recombination. Ln particular we investigated the fully forme ...
The fluorescence resonance energy-transfer (FRET) process was studied between donor dye mols. deposited on the sample surface and acceptor dye mols. deposited on the tips of scanning near-field and at. force microscopes. The FRET process was obsd. only whe ...
In the present article we describe a new setup for an atomic force microscope in the beetle-type geometry. The microscope consists of a compact head standing on three piezo legs with a fourth central piezo carrying the cantilever tip. We use the laser beam ...
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) was obsd. between donor dye mols. deposited onto the sample surface and acceptor dye mols. deposited onto the scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) or at. force microscope tip. FRET was obsd. only when ...
The velocity and humidity dependence of nanoscopic sliding friction has been studied on CrN and diamondlike carbon surfaces with an atomic force microscope. The surface wettability is found to be decisive. Partially hydrophilic surfaces show a logarithmic ...
