Summary: Electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) is used to examine the electrostatic force between an AFM tip and sample surface, allowing evaluation of their capacitance and surface potential. The dependences of the electrostatic force on dc voltage and ac voltage frequency can be used to investigate carrier density, carrier type, and deep-level states in a semiconductor. Proper distance control is necessary in EFM to ensure accurate measurements, and the oscillation amplitude of a cantilever can be effectively used for feedback control. The 1 A-mode operation in EFM shows good robustness against the strong electrostatic force and allows proper measurements of tip-sample capacitance.

Summary: In recent years, Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)-based nanolithography techniques have become increasingly powerful. However, conventional methods are inefficient, have low pattern formation rates, and are complex to execute. In this study, we developed a simple and effective nanopatterning technique called Pulse-Atomic Force Lithography (P-AFL), which enabled us to pattern 2.5D nanogrooves on a thin polymer layer with sub-nanometre resolution, high accuracy, and reproducibility. We investigated the effects of P-AFL parameters on the morphology of 2.5D nanostructures and optimized the nanolithography process to achieve unconventional shape nanostructures with high accuracy and fidelity.

Summary: This study presents a novel approach, the ultra-large scale stitchless atomic force microscopy (ULSS-AFM), which combines a compliant nano-manipulator (CNM) to enable high-throughput characterization of an area of up to 1 x 1 mm(2). Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the ULSS-AFM in different scanning ranges, modes, resolutions, and frequencies. Compared to conventional AFMs, this approach allows for the characterization of ultra-large scale samples without stitching or bow errors, expanding the scanning area of traditional AFMs by two orders of magnitude and opening up important avenues for cross-scale scientific research and industrial applications in nano- and microscale.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of drying temperature, plasticizer type and dosage on the molecular structure of konjac glucomannan (KGM), agar, and curdlan polysaccharides. The results showed that the molecular morphology of different polysaccharides changed at different drying temperatures. Adding a suitable amount of plasticizer can relieve the shrinkage of hydrophilic polysaccharide molecular chains during drying. Glycerol showed better performance in relieving molecular chain shrinkage compared to Tween 20 and Tween 80. Lastly, a new method for preparing polysaccharide samples for atomic force microscopy (AFM) was proposed, which provided a new idea for observing polysaccharide morphology.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of glycyl dipeptide on the compressibility, volumetric behavior, and viscometric behavior of cationic surfactants CTAB and DTAB. The study reveals that CTAB interacts more strongly with dipeptide and significantly dehydrates it. The addition of cationic surfactants also affects water-water interactions, leading to variations in determined parameters. Consideration of structural rearrangement of molecules helps explain the results of viscosity and related factors. The study provides insights into the stability and structural changes in protein-surfactant systems mediated by various interactions.
