Characterization Of Mesoscopic Fluid Films For Applications In Spm Imaging And Fabrication Of Nanostructures On Responsive Materials, Xiaohua Wang
Dissertations and Theses
This dissertation focuses on characterization of the mesoscopic fluid film, testing its behavior in different application scenarios, including its role in near-field scanning probe microscopy imaging, contribution to the phononic mechanism in nanotribology phenomena, utilizing it as a natural environment in the study of carbohydrate-protein interactions, and harnessing it as bridge to transport ions in the fabrication of nanostructures on responsive polymer materials.
Due to their high resolution and versatile applications in a variety of fields, the family of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) has found widespread acceptance as an analytical and fabrication tool. However, the working mechanism of SPM that …
