CMSE's Shared Experimental Facilities include several useful tools for characterizing solid surfaces with a sampling depth of a few atomic layers. This afternoon seminar introduces a fascinating class of techniques which use a tiny mechanical probe to characterize the topography and material properties of surfaces. With a primary focus on Atomic Force Microscopy, we will summarize how each technique works, its strengths and limitations, and some of the research questions these methods help to answer.
