Establishing the presence or absence of nanoscale compositional heterogeneity with nanoscale resolution is becoming instrumental for the development of many fields of science. Force versus distance measurements and parameters ...

Multifrequency atomic force microscopy (AFM) enhances resolving power, provides extra contrast channels, and is equipped with a formalism to quantify material properties pixel by pixel. On the other hand, multifrequency ...

Quantification of conservative forces in multifrequency atomic force microscopy requires solving the general equations of the theory expressed in terms of the virials of interaction. Power law expressions are commonly ...

The multifrequency formalism is generalized and exploited to quantify attractive forces, i.e., van der Waals interactions, with small amplitudes or gentle forces in bimodal and trimodal atomic force microscopy (AFM). The ...

The monitoring of the deflection of a micro-cantilever, as the end of a sharp probe mounted at its end, i.e. the tip, interacts with a surface, forms the foundation of atomic force microscopy AFM. In a nutshell, developments ...

In dynamic atomic force microscopy (AFM) the cantilever is vibrated and its dynamics are monitored to probe the sample with nanoscale and atomic resolution. Amplitude and frequency modulation (AM and FM) atomic force ...

Here we present the Mendeleev–Meyer Force Project which aims at tabulating all materials and substances in a fashion similar to the periodic table. The goal is to group and tabulate substances using nanoscale force footprints ...
