A theme of this month’s column is education. Most of the sites I’ve covered this month have a strong educational component and Principle of Scanning Probe Microscopy is no exception. With content ...

At its core, SPM operates on the principle of measuring interactions between a sharp probe and the surface of a material. As the probe scans across the surface, it detects variations in physical ...

Definition: Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM), also known as Surface Potential Microscopy, is a cutting-edge scanning probe microscopy technique that measures the surface potential of materials at ...

The biggest challenge with SPM is that the SPM data quality is inherently linked to the tip quality. As we all know, since its inception, SPM has become one of the go-to methods for nanoscale ...

Over the past decade, demand for nano-electrical characterization has rapidly increased due to the continuous miniaturization of electronic devices. The semiconductor and microelectronics industries ...
