What Techniques Are Used in Nanotechnology Research?
Several advanced techniques are employed in nanotechnology research, including:
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): Used to image and manipulate atoms and molecules on surfaces. Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM): Provides detailed images of surfaces at the atomic level. Electron Microscopy: Uses electron beams to achieve high-resolution images of nanostructures. X-ray Diffraction (XRD): Helps in determining the crystallographic structure of nanomaterials. Spectroscopy: Techniques like Raman and UV-Vis spectroscopy provide information about the composition and properties of nanomaterials.
