High Resolution AFM Probes

Transparent electrodes based on molybdenum-titanium-oxide with increased water stability for use as hole-transport/hole-injection components

Figure 6 from Selina Goetz et al. 2022 “Transparent electrodes based on molybdenum–titanium–oxide with increased water stability for use as hole-transport/hole-injection components”: AFM images of a bare glass, b bare PET, c MTO40/Ag14/MTO10/30 on glass and d MTO40/Ag14/MTO10/30 on PET Figure 6 displays the 1 × 1 µm2 AFM images of the DMD on glass and PET, as well as the corresponding bare substrate. The roughness of the electrodes is mostly affected by the underlying substrate. The extracted root mean square value (RMS) for the glass substrate (Fig. 6a) is 1.8 ± 0.1 nm and 11.5 ± 4.0 nm for the PET substrate (Fig. 6b). The RMS values of the DMD electrodes are even reduced, yielding RMS = 1.0 ± 0.1 nm for glass/MTO40/Ag14/MTO10/30 (Fig. 6c) and RMS = 4.8 ± 2.0 nm for PET/MTO40/Ag14/MTO10/30 (Fig. 6d). NANOSENSORS silicon high-resolution AFM probes for tapping mode with a typical AFM tip radius of 2 nm ( SuperSharpSilicon™ SSS-NCHR ) were used.

The application of molybdenum oxide layers in electronic devices like solar cells and organic light emitting diodes (LEDs) has expanded considerably. * Dielectric/metal/dielectric (DMD) transparent… Read More »Transparent electrodes based on molybdenum-titanium-oxide with increased water stability for use as hole-transport/hole-injection components

Novel characteristics of soluble fibrin: hypercoagulability and acceleration of blood sedimentation rate mediated by its generation of erythrocyte-linked fibers

Figure 5 from D. Galanakis et al. “Novel characteristics of soluble fibrin: hypercoagulability and acceleration of blood sedimentation rate mediated by its generation of erythrocyte-linked fibers”: AFM images. Horizontal bars denote 100 nm and 50 nm in panels a and b, respectively. a FR fg adsorbed on a TOMA surface showing a large, upper arrow, and a smaller multimeric cluster, lower arrow, showing the marked variation in the cluster size. The smaller cluster also shows regular surface undulations indicating its multimeric composition. b FR fg adsorbed on modified graphite (MG) surface, showing a field of solitary trinocular monomers and two clusters. Inset: a 4 × magnification from a different area of the same field showing a monomer, right arrow, and a multimeric cluster, left arrow NANOSENSORS SuperSharpSilicon SSS-SEIHR AFM probes were used.

Soluble fibrin (SF) in blood consists of monomers lacking both fibrinopeptides A with a minor population in multimeric clusters. It is a substantial component of… Read More »Novel characteristics of soluble fibrin: hypercoagulability and acceleration of blood sedimentation rate mediated by its generation of erythrocyte-linked fibers

Rapid access to discrete and monodisperse block co-oligomers from sugar and terpenoid toward ultrasmall periodic nanostructures

Fig. 4 from : Rapid access to discrete and monodisperse block co-oligomers from sugar and terpenoid toward ultrasmall periodic nanostructures by Takuya Isono et al. Thin-film morphologies of Glc3-b-Sol and Glc4-b-Sol. AFM height images (a, b) and corresponding cross-sectional profiles (c, d) indicating the formation of 6–8-nm-thick horizontal lamellae in Glc3-b-Sol (a, c) and Glc4-b-Sol thin films (b, d). Thin-film samples were prepared by spin-coating the BCO solution onto the hydrophilic surface of a silicon substrate followed by thermal annealing at 85 °C for 1 h. NANOSENSORS PointProbe Plus PPP-NCHR standard silicon tapping mode AFM probes and NANOSENSORS SuperSharpSilicon high resolution silicon AFM probes were used

Discrete block co-oligomers (BCOs) can form highly ordered ultrasmall nanostructures which can be used for lithographic templates. These nanotemplates are promising for the low-cost, large-scale,… Read More »Rapid access to discrete and monodisperse block co-oligomers from sugar and terpenoid toward ultrasmall periodic nanostructures
