form of localized characterization or analysis combined with microscopy that uses a near …

As one of the tip-based nanomanufacturing (TBN) approaches, the atomic force microscope
tip-based nanomechanical technique has already been used to successfully fabricate …

Polymer Microscopy, Third Edition, is a comprehensive and practical guide to the study of
the microstructure of polymers, and is the result of the authors' many years of academic and …

Understanding energy dissipation at the nanoscale requires the ability to probe temperature
fields with nanometer resolution. Here, we describe an ultra-high vacuum (UHV)-based …

In the three decades since scanning probe microscopy (SPM) methods have entered the
scientific arena, they have become one of the main tools of nanoscale science and …

Examining the physical and technical foundation for recent progress with this technique,
Applied Scanning Probe Methods offers a timely and comprehensive overview of SPM …

Because of its high spatial resolution, scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) has been
developed quite actively and applied in such diverse areas as microelectronics …

We used local thermal analysis and ellipsometry to measure the glass transition
temperatures (T g) of supported thin films of poly (4-hydroxystyrene)(PHS) and hydroxy …

Many techniques exist for measuring the temperature dependence of material properties. A
