Figure 1 from "Resonant torsion magnetometry in anisotropic quantum materials": Schematic overview of resonant torsion magnetometry. a First and second derivatives of the free energy with respect to the magnetic field B and the field orientation θ. b The quartz tuning fork of the Akiyama A-probe (http://www.akiyamaprobe.com) is electrically excited at the lowest-resonance mode of the silicon cantilever, producing a large out-of-plane motion at the tip of the cantilever. c Schematic representing the principle of measuring the magnetotropic coefficient k. In a magnetic field, the magnetic torque brings the lever to a new equilibrium position. The magnetic energy of the samples changes the effective stiffness of the lever, leading to a shift in the resonant frequency. d The silicon cantilever glued to each leg of the quartz tuning fork with a single crystal of RuCl3 mounted at the tip with Bayer silicone grease

Figure 1 from Borderon et al. Domain wall motion in Pb(Zr0.20Ti0.80)O3 epitaxial thin films: Piezoelectric Force Microscopy (PFM) characterization of the epitaxial PZT thin films. The scan size is 2 μm×1 μm for the c-domain ample and 1 μm × 0.5 μm for the a/c-domain sample. PFM characterization done with ATEC-EFM AFM probe

A NANOSENSORS AdvancedTEC ATEC-EFM PtIr coated AFM probe was used for the piezo force microscopy (PFM) characterization in this interesting paper by Borderon et.al Domain… Read More »Domain wall motion in Pb(Zr0.20Ti0.80)O3 epitaxial thin films

Figure 5 from Yordanova et. al. "Zn2+-triggered self-assembly of Gonadorelin [6-D-Phe] to produce nanostructures and fibrils" - AFM image of the Zn2+: GnRH [6-D-Phe] 10:1 complex. (a,b) Oligomers after preparation with tapping mode in Tris buffer solution (c,d) fibrils with tapping mode in air (z-scale indicates the average size of the formed oligomers and fibrils). NANOSENSORS qp-BioAC AFM probe was used to perform images in buffer solution

For this article the AFM images taken with tapping mode in Tris buffer solution were performed with the NANOSENSORS qp-BioAC (cantilever 3, resonance frequency 30kHz).… Read More »Zn2+-triggered self-assembly of Gonadorelin [6-D-Phe] to produce nanostructures and fibrils
