In this work we investigate possible ferromagnetic order on the graphite surface by using magnetic force microscopy (MFM). Our data show that the tip-sample interaction along the steps is independent of an external magnetic field. Moreover, by combining kelvin probe force microscopy and MFM, we are able to separate the electrostatic and magnetic interactions along the steps obtaining an upper b...

This work is a text-book for senior and magistracy students, dedicated to one of the most modern solid-state body surface research techniques – Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM). The book considers the basic SPM types: Scanning Tunnel Microscopy (STM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Electric Force Microscopy (EFM), Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM), Near-field Optical Microscopy (NOM), which have f...

Background: Chitosan nanoparticles have become of great interest for nanomedicine, biomedical engineering and development of new therapeutic drug release systems with improved bioavailability, increased specificity and sensitivity, and reduced pharmacological toxicity. The aim of the present study is to synthesis and optimization of chitosan nanoparticles for industrial and biomedical applicati...
