Atomic Force Microscopy/Scanning Tunneling Microscopy 2 / Edition 1

by Samuel H. Cohen, Marcia L. Lightbody

Overview

This book represents the compilation of papers presented at the second Atomic Force Microscopy/Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (AFM/STM) Symposium, held June 7 to 9, 1994, in Natick, Massachusetts, at Natick Research, Development and Engineering Center, now part ofU.S. Army Soldier Systems Command. As with the 1993 symposium, the 1994 symposium provided a forum where scientists with a common interest in AFM, STM, and other probe microscopies could interact with one another, exchange ideas and explore the possibilities for future collaborations and working relationships. In addition to the scheduled talks and poster sessions, there was an equipment exhibit featuring the newest state-of-the-art AFM/STM microscopes, other probe microscopes, imaging hardware and software, as well as the latest microscope-related and sample preparation accessories. These were all very favorably received by the meeting's attendees. Following opening remarks by Natick's Commander, Colonel Morris E. Price, Jr., and the Technical Director, Dr. Robert W. Lewis, the symposium began with the Keynote Address given by Dr. Michael F. Crommie from Boston University. The agenda was divided into four major sessions. The papers (and posters) presented at the symposium represented a broad spectrum of topics in atomic force microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, and other probe microscopies.

Editorial Reviews

The 29 papers on various probe microscopies cover semiconductor and adsorbate characterization, biological and chemical nanostructure, new developments, and applications in materials science. Some of the specific topics are very large-scale integration inspection, characterizing gelatin on mica as an example of biopolymer films, isocyanide functionalized polyaniline thin films, visualizing surface degradations on biomedical polymers "in situ", the nanometer-scale qualitative analysis of surfaces, single ion impacts on mica, applications in magnetic recording, and the "in-situ" study of stainless steel's passive layer exposed to hydrogen chloride.
