scanning probe microscopy
1Scanning probe microscopy — Part of a series of articles on Nanotechnology …
2scanning probe microscopy — Methods for visualizing surfaces at microscopic scale that rely on moving a tiny probe over a surface (usually in an x y scan), and recording some property of interest (current, force) at each coordinate. These techniques have the ability to… …
3Scanning voltage microscopy — (SVM) sometimes also called nanopotentiometry is a scientific experimental technique based on atomic force microscopy. A conductive probe, usually only a few nanometers wide at the tip, is placed in full contact with an operational electronic or… …
4Scanning capacitance microscopy — (SCM) is a variety of scanning probe microscopy in which a narrow probe electrode is held just above the surface of a sample and scanned across the sample. SCM characterizes the surface of the sample using information obtained from the change in… …
5Scanning gate microscopy — (SGM) is a scanning probe microscopy technique with an electrically conductive tip used as a movable gate that couples capacitively to the sample and probes electrical transport on the nanometer scale. Typical samples are mesoscopic devices,… …
6scanning tunnelling microscopy — A form of ultra high resolution microscopy of a surface in which a very small current is passed through a surface and is detected by a microprobe of atomic dimnensions at its tip that scans the surface by use of a piezodrive. In the simplest form …
7Spin polarized scanning tunneling microscopy — (SP STM) is a specialized application of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) that can provide detailed information of magentic phenomena on the single atom scale additional to the atomic topology gained with STM. SP STM was developed by Roland… …
8Microscopy — is the technical field of using microscopes to view samples and objects that cannot be seen with the unaided eye (objects that are not within the resolution range of the normal eye). There are three well known branches of microscopy, optical,… …
9Scanning tunneling spectroscopy — (STS) is a powerful experimental technique in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) that uses a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to probe the local density of electronic states (LDOS) and band gap of surfaces and materials on surfaces at the… …
