... thickness and properties. The symmetric composite laminate plates have a thickness of ∼8mm. Specimens from the subsurface (∼400 μm from the surface) and the depth (∼ 4mm from the surface) were considered. The polymer matrix composite samples have been exposed to heat and humidity. AFM Multimode 8, scanner...

... is measured by Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is thoroughly investigated. First, micro laser dimples of different diameters' (D's) of 5, 10 and 20 µm are fabricated on air hardened tool steel samples using High quality high power CuBr vapour laser. The distance (L), between the centers of two neighbouring...

... is difficult to conduct because of how small its scale. In the present work the accurate geometry of the region near the three-phase contact line was obtained by directly scanning the thin-film region with atomic force microscopy (AFM). The contact angles were directly extracted from the results and compared...

... 23 05 2008 The design and microfabrication of silicon co-axial evanescent microwave probes (EMP) compatible with atomic force microscope (AFM) imaging was discussed. Scanning EMP (SEMP) imaging is suitable for nondestructive surface and subsurface characterization of materials over...

... 14 05 2008 When an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is operated in air, capillary condensation induces meniscus formation between the AFM tip and substrate. At present, no models account for the temperature-dependence of meniscus formation. This paper describes experiments measuring...
