Abstract:
All forms of microscopy touch our daily lives by
supporting manufacturing, engineering and research. The Scanning
Tunneling Microscope originally gained attention as a simple device
for imaging atoms. From that exotic beginning, there has grown
a family of Scanning Probe Microscopes. These instruments can
operate in air, in liquid and in vacuum. They record 3-dimensional
topography, magnetic and electric fields, friction, adhesion,
stiffness, optical spectra and more. This talk presents applications
of Scanning Probe Microscopy to a variety of materials and devices
used in consumer products, including electronics, data storage,
food packaging and engines.
