Chromium nitrides may precipitate in duplex stainless steels during processing and their
influence on the corrosion behavior is of great importance for the steel performance. In this …

The crystallographic orientation dependence of hydrogen diffusion in α-Fe and γ-Fe is
examined using first-principle calculations and the scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy …

Precipitation of different types of chromium nitrides may occur during processing of super
duplex stainless steels, affecting the properties of the material. In this study the influence of …

By means of high resolution atomic-force microscopy (AFM) we investigated the surface of
graphene and graphite. Our study shows that if the samples were stored in ambient …

We demonstrate that single-pass Kelvin force microscopy (KFM) and capacitance gradient
(dC/dZ) measurements with force gradient detection of tip–sample electrostatic interactions …

Emerging multifrequency atomic force microscopy (MF-AFM) methods rely on coherent
demodulation of the cantilever deflection signal at multiple frequencies. These …

Microstructure influence on corrosion behavior of an N-based tool alloy (Fe–Cr–V–N) has
been studied. Electron microscopy analysis showed two types of hard phases in the alloy …
