We use a new method based on Electrostatic Force Microscopy (EFM) to perform quantitative measurements of the dielectric constants of individual carboxylated as well as non-functionalized polystyrene nanospheres. The EFM data record the oscillation phase

Electric force microscopy of induced charges and surface potentials in GaN modified by light and strain [PDF]
We have studied molecular beam epitaxy grown GaN films using electric force microscopy to detect sub-1 µm regions of electric field gradient and surface potential variations associated with GaN extended defects.

Electrostatic Force Microscopy Measurement System for Micro-topography of Non-conductive Devices
A home-made electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) system is described which is directed toward assessment of the microscopic geometry of the surface of specimens made of non-conductive material with a large thickness. This system is based on the variation

Removal of electrostatic artifacts in magnetic force microscopy by controlled magnetization of the tip: application to superparamagnetic nanoparticles [PDF]
Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) has been demonstrated as valuable technique for the characterization of magnetic nanomaterials. To be analyzed by MFM techniques, nanomaterials are generally deposited on flat substrates, resulting in an additional ...

Measuring the effect of electrostatic patch potentials in Casimir force experiments
The Casimir force is a consequence of quantum electrodynamic fluctuations, which induce interactions between materials. Patch potentials (i.e., spatial variations of electrostatic potentials across a surface) are a concern in measurements of the Casimir ...

Electrostatic force microscopy of self‐assembled peptide structures
AbstractIn this report electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) is used to study different peptide self‐assembled structures such as tubes and particles. It is shown that not only geometrical information can be obtained using EFM, but also information about the composition of different structures.
