Scanning Probe Microscopy

TL;DR: In this article , the dynamics of hydrophobic recovery of PDMS, on flat bare surfaces and on surfaces embedded with hydrophilic beads, were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy.

TL;DR: The development of methodologies to identify single molecules and/or to detect/monitor molecular behavior at the single-molecule level is one of the important research topics in chemistry and biology as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: The surface crystallography and chemistry of a LaAlO3 single crystal, a material mainly used as a substrate to deposit technologically important thin films, was analysed using surface X-ray diffraction and low energy ion scattering spectroscopy and was determined to be terminated by Al-O species.
