چکیده
Introduction Measuring electromagnetic properties of materials can provide insight into applications in many areas of science and technology, and increasingly, these properties need to be evaluated at the nanometer scale. Since electromagnetic properties, such as the dielectric constant, are ultimately related to a material’s molecular structure, correlating the detailed physical structure of a material with its electromagnetic properties is frequently more valuable than the knowledge of either alone.

A novel STM-assisted microwave microscope with capacitance and loss imaging capability.
We report a new technique of scanning capacitance microscopy at microwave frequencies. A near field scanning microwave microscope probe is kept at a constant height of about 1 nm above the sample with the help of scanning tunneling microscope (STM) feedback. The microwaves are incident onto the sample through a coaxial resonator that is terminated at one end with a sharp tip (the same tip is us...
متن کاملNondestructive Label-Free Mapping of DNA Bioassay Using a Near-Field Scanning Microwave Microscope
Near-field scanning microwave microscope (NSMM) is used to readout and visualize homemade 10mer oligonucleotides microarrays of DNA. NSMM instrumentation does not require labeling of target sequences with fluorophores or other tagging groups. Sensitive examination of DNA coverage and high resolution mapping of DNA spots in the microarray were observed by measuring the change of microwave reflec...
متن کاملMicrowave-induced mass transport enhancement in nano-porous aluminum oxide membranes.
Experiments were conducted to compare the annealing of nano-porous aluminum oxide membranes by 2.45 GHz microwave radiation and by conventional (resistive element) furnace heating. The starting material was Al2O3 membranes that were 60 microm thick, 13 mm in diameter, and containing pores of approximately 200 nm diameter. Changes in the porosity and morphology were recorded from digital process...
متن کاملAtomic resolution imaging at 2.5 GHz using near-field microwave microscopy
Atomic resolution imaging is demonstrated using a hybrid scanning tunneling/near-field microwave microscope. The microwave channels of the microscope correspond to the resonant frequency and quality factor of a coaxial microwave resonator, which is built in to the scan head. The microscope is capable of simultaneously recording the low frequency tunnel current !0–10 kHz" and the information fro...
متن کاملComparison of the optical properties of pre-colored dental monolithic zirconia ceramics sintered in a conventional furnace versus a microwave oven
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the optical properties of pre-colored dental monolithic zirconia ceramics of various thicknesses sintered in a microwave and those in a conventional furnace. MATERIALS AND METHODS A2-shade of pre-colored monolithic zirconia ceramic specimens (22.0 mm × 22.0 mm) in 3 thickness groups of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mm were divided into 2 subgroups accordin...
متن کاملCryogenic microwave imaging of metal-insulator transition in doped silicon.
We report the instrumentation and experimental results of a cryogenic scanning microwave impedance microscope. The microwave probe and the scanning stage are located inside the variable temperature insert of a helium cryostat. Microwave signals in the distance modulation mode are used for monitoring the tip-sample distance and adjusting the phase of the two output channels. The ability to spati...
