DESCRIPTION:Recent advances in the nanoscale probing of materials have ope
 ned up a whole host of opportunities previously only dreamed of. Coupled t
 ogether with the ability to fabricate or engineer surfaces\, materials and
  devices\, we have a highly fertile space to play with.\n\nIn this webinar
 \, Dr Durkan will look at the developments in scanning-probe microscopy-ba
 sed tools used to both fabricate and characterize nanostructures\, with a 
 particular emphasis on spatial resolution\, quantitative property mapping\
 , functional materials\, ultimate limits and up-and-coming techniques that
  will prove useful from the BP-ICAM perspective.\n\nStarting from the Scan
 ning Tunneling microscope (STM)\, which offers useful insights into the st
 ructure of various species and how they interact with surfaces\, the webin
 ar will then move to the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)\, which has the pot
 ential to provide us with bond-level resolution as well as quantitative me
 chanical and chemical property mapping. Finally\, Dr Durkan will briefly l
 ook at some of the techniques used to engineer surfaces at the nanoscale.
