Modeling, Analysis, and Instrumentation in Scanning Probe Microscopy

Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPM), which include devices such as Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), with their ability to probe various properties of matter at the atomic scale, together with the ability to operate in different environments, are having a dramatic impact on fields as diverse as biology, materials science, electrochemistry, tribology, biochemistry, surface physics, and medicine. In the last decade a considerable progress has been made in various aspects of scanning probe microscopy that are bringing the goal of routine atomic-scale investigation, manipulation and control of matter closer to reality.

This symposium will be dedicated to research in this direction. Any research that relates to instrumentation aspects of SPM will be considered for this symposium. The topics include but are not restricted to

(1)System theoretic modeling, analysis, theory for SPM
(2)Design and characterization of sensors, actuators, flexure stages, and related instrumentation for SPMs
(3)Analysis and strategies for existing operational modes of SPM
(4)Development of new modes of operations for SPMs
