Since “seeing is believing”, scanning probe microscopy (SPM), in terms of scanning tunneling microscopy (SPM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), are proven to be one of the most versatile and important tools in the surface science research field, which own the ability of real space imaging with sub-Angstrom resolution. In this chapter, I will give a detailed introduction of STM and non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM), focusing on the work principle, imaging, spectroscopic capabilities and applications in surface science.
| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 0 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
