Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
A microscopic characterisation of the phase transitions associated with colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) in manganese perovskite oxides is a very important ingredient in the quest of understanding its underlying mechanism. Scanning tunneling microscopy (ST ...
We present an image-guided microscope system using augmented reality image overlays added onto one of the views of the operating microscope. With this system, segmented objects, outlines of risk regions or access pathways, previously extracted from preoper ...
SU-8 is a photoplastic polymer with a wide range of possible applications in microtechnology. Cantilevers designed for atomic force microscopes were fabricated in SU-8. The mechanical properties of these cantilevers were investigated using two microscale t ...
In this letter, we describe the on-demand dispensing of single liquid droplets with volumes down to a few attoliters and submicrometric spacing. This dispensing is achieved using a standard atomic force microscope probe, with a 200 nm aperture at the tip a ...
We present an automation technique for the growth of electron beam deposited tips on whole wafers of atomic force microscope cantilevers. This technique uses pattern recognition on scanning electron microscope images of successive magnifications to precise ...
Recently electrically conducting SPM probes were used as read/write sensor of magneto-resistive nanopillars and ferroelectric domains in the development of >1 Tb/inch2 data storage. Since metal coated (platinum (Pt) or Pt/iridium) silicon (Si) probes are n ...
We present the results of an exptl. and theor. study on the optimum design of shear-force sensors, used in scanning probe microscopes. We have optimized a configuration consisting of a tuning-fork/fiber-tip assembly, achieving quality factors (Q) exceeding ...
Four-point probes (4PPs) are used for the resistivity measurement of thin metal or semiconductor films. There is an interest in miniaturization of 4PPs to obtain higher surface sensitivity, increased spatial resolution and less damage to the sample. Severa ...
The atomic force microscope (AFM) is limited in imaging speed by the bandwidth and dynamic behavior of the actuators and mechanical parts. For high-speed imaging all AFM components have to be optimized in performance. Here, we present improvements of the f ...
Due to the importance of scanning tunneling microscopy for atomic scale research the anomalously high corrugation values on close packed metal surfaces have been the subject of debate and extensive theoretical work in the past two decades. To date it remai ...
