What are Some Applications of AFM in Nanotechnology?
AFMs have a wide range of applications in nanotechnology, including:
Surface Characterization: AFMs are used to study surface roughness, texture, and other characteristics of nanomaterials. Nanomanipulation: AFMs can be used to manipulate and position nanoparticles with high precision. Biological Applications: AFMs are used to study biological samples such as proteins, DNA, and cell membranes at the nanoscale. Material Science: AFMs help in understanding the mechanical properties of materials, such as hardness and elasticity, at the nanoscale.
