What Techniques are Used to Study Charge at the Nanoscale?
Several advanced techniques are employed to study and manipulate charge at the nanoscale. These include scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), which allows for the observation of charge distribution on surfaces at the atomic level, and atomic force microscopy (AFM), which can measure the electrostatic forces between the probe and the sample. Electrochemical methods such as cyclic voltammetry are also used to study charge transfer processes in nanomaterials.
