Thermal polymer decomposition. Thermal scanning probe lithography (t-SPL) is a form of scanning probe lithography [1] (SPL) whereby material is structured on the nanoscale using scanning probes, primarily through the application of thermal energy.
Thermochemical nanolithography (TCNL) or thermochemical scanning probe lithography (tc-SPL) is a scanning probe microscopy-based nanolithography technique which triggers thermally activated chemical reactions to change the chemical functionality or the phase of surfaces.
Scanning probe lithography [1] (SPL) describes a set of nanolithographic methods to pattern material on the nanoscale using scanning probes. It is a direct-write, mask-less approach which bypasses the diffraction limit and can reach resolutions below 10 nm. [ 2 ]
Solid-solid conduction. Probe tip to sample. This is the transfer mechanism which yields the thermal scan. Liquid-liquid conduction. When scanning in non-zero humidity, a liquid meniscus forms between the tip and sample. Conduction can occur through this liquid drop. Gas conduction. Heat can be transferred through the edges of the probe tip to ...
nano-Differential scanning fluorimetry, or nanoDSF, is a biophysical characterization technique used for assessing the conformational stability of a biological sample, typically a protein. [2] Samples are subjected to either temperature ramps or gradients of chemical denaturant, and the intrinsic fluorescence is measured and fit to determine ...
Scanning vibrating electrode technique was originally introduced to sensitively measure extracellular currents by Jaffe and Nuccitelli in 1974. [1] Jaffe and Nuccitelli then demonstrated the ability of the technique through the measurement of the extracellular currents involved with amputated and re-generating newt limbs, [5] developmental currents of chick embryos, [6] and the electrical ...
Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) is a variant of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) [1] that combines scanning probe microscopy with Raman spectroscopy. High spatial resolution chemical imaging is possible via TERS, [2] with routine demonstrations of nanometer spatial resolution under ambient laboratory conditions, [3] or better [4] at ultralow temperatures and high pressure.
A probe tip is an instrument used in scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) to scan the surface of a sample and make nano-scale images of surfaces and structures. The probe tip is mounted on the end of a cantilever and can be as sharp as a single atom .
