چکیده
This paper describes an atomic force microscope (AFM) based voltage-assisted electrospinning technique. Single nanofibers on substrates are prepared via simultaneous preparation and deposition. In this work, an AFM-based electrospinning process is developed to generate polyethylene oxide (PEO) polymeric single fibers with nanometer scale diameters. The results demonstrate the feasibility of this developed approach for assembling nanofibers at predetermined positions. This work represents a promising advancement in nanomanufacturing of one-dimensional nanostructured materials for microand nanoscale devices. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Peculiarities of an anomalous electronic current during atomic force microscopy assisted nanolithography on n-type silicon
We report the observation of anomalously high currents of up to 500 μA during direct oxide nanolithography on the surface of n-type silicon {100}. Conventional nanolithography on silicon with an atomic force microscope (AFM) normally involves currents of the order of 10−10–10−7 A and is associated with ionic conduction within a water meniscus surrounding the tip. The anomalous current we observ...
متن کاملConductive-probe atomic force microscopy characterization of silicon nanowire
The electrical conduction properties of lateral and vertical silicon nanowires (SiNWs) were investigated using a conductive-probe atomic force microscopy (AFM). Horizontal SiNWs, which were synthesized by the in-plane solid-liquid-solid technique, are randomly deployed into an undoped hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer. Local current mapping shows that the wires have internal microstructures....
متن کاملA New AFM Nanotribology Method Using a T-Shape Cantilever with an Off-Axis Tip for Friction Coefficient Measurement with Minimized Abbé Error
A new AFM (atomic force microscopy) nanotribology method using a T-shape cantilever with an offaxis tip (Nat Nanotechnol 2:507–514, 2007) has been developed for measuring friction coefficient at nanometer scale. In this method, signals due to both bending and twisting of the T-shape AFM cantilever are detected simultaneously. For a T-shape AFM cantilever, the bending is caused by the normal loa...
