A major advantage of atomic force microscopes (AFMs) is their versatility in integrating various operational modes that assess different material properties and functionalities. Among the most ...

Ferroelectrics found extensive uses in industrial applications because of their unparalleled electromechanical and electrical characteristics, for example, as actuators, sensors and capacitors [1], [2 ...

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) has a reputation for being one the most difficult aspects in power-supply designs. I think that this reputation comes, in large part, from the fact that most ...

Researchers have used the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center inside a single nanodiamond for quantum sensing to overcome the problem of random particle rotation. Their study is published in Nature ...

This paper reports on a MEMS gravimeter that has a closed-loop system to maintain an ultra-low resonance frequency of 1Hz. The low resonance frequency is attained by using a spring that is the ...

Photothermal AFM-IR, commonly referred to as AFM-IR, is an analytical technique used to understand the chemistry of a material at the nanoscale. It combines the nanoscale spatial resolution of atomic ...

Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) is an effective method for examining ferroelectric materials due to its nanometer-level resolution and high sensitivity, inherited from atomic force microscopy ...
