Two-Electrode Measurements Of Electrostatic Double Layer Potentials With Atomic Force Microscopy, Jason Giamberardino
Two-Electrode Measurements Of Electrostatic Double Layer Potentials With Atomic Force Microscopy, Jason Giamberardino
Theses and Dissertations
In this dissertation, I provide a thorough description of my development of theoretical, analytical, and experimental techniques pertaining to novel measurements of the electrostatic double layer (EDL) using atomic force microscopy (AFM), among other techniques. The EDL refers to the structure formed by ions that exists at the interface between a solid and a liquid. The EDL is an important physical element of many systems and its behavior has been of interest to scientists for many decades. Because many areas of science and engineering are moving to test, build, and understand systems at smaller and smaller scales, this work focuses …
