Direct observation of localized surface plasmon field enhancement by Kelvin probe force microscopy. [PDF]
A surface plasmon (SP) is a fundamental excitation state that exists in metal nanostructures. Over the past several years, the performance of optoelectronic devices has been improved greatly via the SP enhancement effect.

Kelvin probe force microscopy for local characterisation of active nanoelectronic devices [PDF]
Frequency modulated Kelvin probe force microscopy (FM-KFM) is the method of choice for high resolution measurements of local surface potentials, yet on coarse topographic structures most researchers revert to amplitude modulated lift-mode techniques for ...

Quantitative AC - Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy
This paper presents a novel feedback based Scanning Probe Microscopy method which enables quantitative surface potential measurements without the need of the DC bias of Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy. In addition to the sinusoidal excitation signal at frequency , a sinusoidal signal with the frequency 2 is applied to the conductive cantilever.

In situ microscopic investigation of ion migration on the surface of chromium coated steels
Cathodic spreading of electrolyte on two-layers chromium coatings electrodeposited from trivalent chromium electrolyte on steel was studied on the micro- and the macroscale. The behavior is discussed in view of results obtained on electrical conductivity

Kelvin probe force microscopy for material characterization [PDF]
Abstract Kelvin probe force microscopy is a scanning probe method for imaging the surface potential by atomic force microscopy. The surface potential is one of the most important surface properties and is correlated to e.g. the work function, surface dipoles, localized surface charges and structural properties.
