Electron work function in individual multiwalled carbon nanotubes doped with nitrogen and boron [PDF]
Multi-walled undoped and doped with nitrogen and boron carbon nanotubes have been synthesized by chemical vapor deposition. Based on the analysis of images obtained by electrostatic force microscopy at various tip voltage, the value of the external ...

Determination of azimuth angle, incidence angle, and contact-potential difference for low-energy electron-diffraction fine-structure measurements [PDF]
Low-energy electron-diffraction fine-structure data can often have relatively large inconsistencies associated with the electron-beam incidence conditions.

Comparison of the barrier height measurements by the Powell method with the φMS measurement results
In this work, we have compared the barrier height measurements carried out using the Powell method with the photoelectric effective contact potential difference (φMS) measurement results. The photoelectric measurements were performed on the samples that

ANALYSIS OF SURFACE DEFECTS OF ALUMINUM AND ITS ALLOYS WITH A SCANNING KELVIN PROBE
Currently, the use of probe electrometry in non-destructive testing is constrained by the complexity of measurement results interpretation. An output signal of electrometric probe depends on a number of physical and chemical parameters of surface ...

Conservation Laws shape Dissipation [PDF]
Starting from the most general formulation of stochastic thermodynamics---i.e. a thermodynamically consistent nonautonomous stochastic dynamics describing systems in contact with several reservoirs---, we define a procedure to identify the conservative ...

Designing a Robust Kelvin Probe Setup Optimized for Long-Term Surface Photovoltage Acquisition
We introduce a robust low-budget Kelvin probe design that is optimized for the long-term acquisition of surface photovoltage (SPV) data, especially developed for highly resistive systems, which exhibit—in contrast to conventional semiconductors ...

Understanding the atomic-scale contrast in Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy [PDF]
A numerical analysis of the origin of the atomic-scale contrast in Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) is presented. Atomistic simulations of the tip-sample interaction force field have been combined with a non-contact Atomic Force Microscope/KPFM ...

The measurement of contact potential difference [PDF]
A number of measurements of the contact potential difference between pairs of dissimilar metals has been made during the last few years. The interest and importance of such measurements arise chiefly in connexion with the theoretical relation which exists between the contact potential difference and the work functions of the surfaces ...

Effects of density experience on mate guarding behavior by adult male Kanzawa spider mites [PDF]
In the Kanzawa spider mite, Tetranychus kanzawai (Acari: Tetranychidae), adult males guard pre-reproductive quiescent females. I experimentally examined the effects of density experience during development and/or after adult emergence on precopulatory ...
