A release technique that enables to lift microfabricated structures mechanically off the surface without using wet chemistry is presented. A self-assembled monolayer of dodecyltrichlorosilane forms a very uniform 1.5-nm-thick anti-adhesion coating on the s ...
Polymers have the ability to conform to surface contours down to a few nanometres. We studied the filling of transparent epoxy-type EPON SU-8 into nanoscale apertures made in a thin metal film as a new method for polymer/metal near-field optical structures ...
A review with 130 refs. on optical techniques such as total internal reflection fluorescence, waveguides, and SPR for the detection of mol. interactions of membrane receptors. The outlook on how these emerging techniques may be applied to solve important q ...
Aerolysin secreted by the human pathogen Aeromonas hydrophila belongs to a group of bacterial toxins that are hemolytic and form channels in biological membranes. The toxin is secreted as an inactive precursor proaerolysin that must be proteolytically proc ...
Innovative surface imaging techniques allowing parallel magnetic and topographical microscopy with nanometer scale spatial resolution are developed in this project. Nanometer scale magnetosensitive devices on Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) tips will be stud ...
During the sliding of an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip on a rough hydrophilic surface, water capillary bridges form between the tip and the asperities of the sample surface. These water bridges give rise to capillary and friction forces. We show that t ...
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 ...
This paper describes a method of thin film and MEMS processing which uses self-assembled monolayers as ultra-thin organic surface coating to enable a simple removal of microfabricated devices off the surface without wet chemical etching. A 1.5-nm thick sel ...
Conformational changes occurring upon membrane binding and subsequent insertion of staphylococcal alpha-toxin were studied using complementary spectroscopic techniques. Experimental conditions were established where binding could be uncoupled from membrane ...
Lateral force microscopy in the wearless regime was used to study the friction behavior of a lipid monolayer on mica. In the monolayer, condensed domains with long-range orientational order of the lipid molecules were present. The domains revealed unexpect ...
