Scanning Probe Microscopy Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Huixin He Room 234, Olson Hall Phone: 973-353-1254 Email: huixinhe@newark.rutgers.edu Lecture notes will be found at: http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~huixinhe/courses/course.html Scanning probe microscopy
The goal of the course will be to introduce the SPM technique and the frontiers research in nanoscience and technology in ways that a broad range of students can appreciate and use “nanoconcepts” and the SPM technique in their own research. The focus of the course will be on the use of scanning probe microscopy to extend the scope of traditional areas of research to the revolutionary nanoscience research and the state-of-art nanotechnology
The learning goal of this course is the basic operation of atomic force microscope, and operation principle of several basic imaging modes in the family of scanning probe microscopy and their advanced applications.
Tentative Syllabus and Topics ( may change slightly as we proceed through the semester) • Overview of scanning probe microscopy, working principles of STM and AFM and some important parts in the instruments. • Hands on experience of atomic force microscope • Toward imaging with the theoretical resolutions. • More working principles for new imaging mode and their applications • In-situ electrochemistry of AFM and STM • Application beyond imaging (1) Nanoelectronics and molecular electronics • Application beyond imaging (2) Nanofabrication • Application beyond imaging (3) Single molecular force spectroscopy • Application beyond imaging (4) Nanomechanics/chemical and biochemical detection.
Textbooks • There is no prescribed textbook for the course. Some reference books and materials are listed below, but more will be provided before each lecture. • “Scanning Probe Microscopy and Spectroscopy, theory, techniques and applications” Dawn Bonnell 2001 • “Scanning Probe Microscopy and Spectroscopy, Methods and applications” Roland Wiesendanger 1994 • “Atomic Force Microscopy for Biologists” V. J. Morris 1999 • “Intermolecular Surface Forces", J. Israelachvili, Academic Press, 1991 • “Micro/Nanotribology and its applications” Bharat Bhushan 1997. • “Electrochemical nanotechnology” W.J. Lorenz and W. Plieth 1998
Nanoscience and Nanotechnology • How big is “ Nano” ? give some examples which are naturally on • the range of nano? • Could you give some examples how nanoscience and • nanotechnology impact our social and economic life? • Both positive and negative. • What is the excellent tool for the research of nanoscience?
