Tutorial : Mapping Adhesion Forces and Calculating Elasticity in Contract – Mode AFM
نویسنده
چکیده
Over the past ten years the atomic force microscope has developed more and more into a spectroscopic tool rather than a simple microscope. Still, for most non-expert users corning from fields other than physics, such as biomedical scientists, dealing with the advanced spectroscopic AFM techniques beyond imaging is not so simple. This tutorial answers some how-to-do-it questions concerning the most common operations in AFM force-spectroscopy, namely mapping adhesion or more general force distributions, and calculating Young's modulus.

Modeling of Air Relative Humidity Effect on Adhesion Force in Manipulation of Nano-Particles and its Application in AFM
In this paper, the effect of air relative humidity and capillary force on contact geometry of surfaces based on JKR model by Atomic force microscopy was investigated in order to manipulate nano-particles. With transition from macro to nano-scale, the effect of surface forces becomes more significant in comparison with inertial force. Because contact mechanics models are based on surface energy ...
متن کاملDirect AFM force mapping of surface nanoscale organization and protein adsorption on an aluminum substrate.
We investigate the nanoscale organization of a superficially hydroxylated Al substrate and its effect on subsequent protein adsorption using atomic force microscopy (AFM). For this purpose we used a mode which allows a direct mapping of a variety of surface properties (adhesion, elasticity, dissipation, etc.) to be probed simultaneously with topographical images. The hydroxylation treatment lea...

Flexible structures are the main components in many precision measuring and research systems. They provide miniaturization, repeatability, minimal damping, low measuring forces, and very high resolution. This article focuses on the modeling, development, and comparison of three typical flexible micronano-structures: flexible helicoids, atomic force microscopy (AFM) cantilevers, and concave notc...

The two-dimensional (2D) materials graphene oxide (GO), and partially reduced graphene oxide (RGO), which have si...
متن کاملProbing molecular recognition sites on biosurfaces using AFM.
Knowledge of the molecular forces that drive receptor-ligand interactions is a key to gain a detailed understanding of cell adhesion events and to develop novel applications in biomaterials science. Until recently, there was no tool available for analyzing and mapping these forces on complex biosurfaces like cell surfaces. During the past decade, however, single-molecule atomic force microscopy...
