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.
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.
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 ]
Thermomechanical analysis (TMA) is a technique used in thermal analysis, a branch of materials science which studies the properties of materials as they change with temperature. Thermomechanical analysis is a subdiscipline of the thermomechanometry (TM) technique.
Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is a branch of microscopy that forms images of surfaces using a physical probe that scans the specimen. SPM was founded in 1981, with the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope , an instrument for imaging surfaces at the atomic level.
The name differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF) was introduced later [17] but Thermofluor is preferable as Thermofluor is no longer trademarked and differential scanning fluorimetry is easily confused with differential scanning calorimetry. SYPRO Orange binds nonspecifically to hydrophobic surfaces, and water strongly quenches its fluorescence.
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 ...
The wire is bent into a V-shape, and the silver sheath is etched away to form a fine-pointed tip. The probe acts as both the heater as well as a temperature sensor. The probe is attached to a conventional scanning probe microscope and can be scanned over the sample surface to resolve the thermal behavior of the sample spatially.
