Contact-mode high-resolution high-speed atomic force microscopy movies of the purple membrane.
High-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) is becoming a reference tool for the study of dynamic biological processes. The spatial and time resolutions of HS-AFM are on the order of nanometers and milliseconds, respectively, and allow structural and functional characterization of biological processes at the single-molecule level. In this work we present contact-mode HS-AFM movies of purple mem...
متن کاملMetal nanocrystals: Deforming like liquid droplets.
T he properties of materials often change drastically when their size is decreased to the nanometre range. For example, as the surface-to-volume ratio of a material is increased, typically its melting temperature depresses and its chemical reactivity tends to increase. Also, as the size of a crystal shrinks down to submicrometre sizes, it becomes more difficult to deform it plastically (that is...
متن کاملThermally induced alloying processes in a bimetallic system at the nanoscale: AgAu sub-5 nm core–shell particles studied at atomic resolution† †Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: 10.1039/C7NR07286D
Alloying processes in nanometre-sized Ag@Au and Au@Ag core@shell particles with average radii of 2 nm are studied via high resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) imaging on in situ heatable carbon substrates. The bimetallic clusters are synthesized in small droplets of superfluid helium under fully inert conditions. After deposition, they are monitored during a heating cycle to 600 K...
متن کاملPhosphine dissociation and diffusion on Si(001) observed at the atomic scale.
A detailed atomic-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory study of the adsorption, dissociation, and surface diffusion of phosphine (PH(3)) on Si(001) is presented. Adsorbate coverages from approximately 0.01 monolayer to saturation are investigated, and adsorption is performed at room temperature and 120 K. It is shown that PH(3) dissociates upon adsorption...
متن کاملA New Method for Characterization of Natural Zeolites and Organic Nanostructure Using Atomic Force Microscopy
In order to study and develop an economical solution to environmental pollution in water, a wide variety of materials have been investigated. Natural zeolites emerge from that research as the best in class of this category. Zeolites are natural materials which are relatively abundant and non biodegradable, economical and serve to perform processes of environmental remediation. This paper contai...
