Work alongside Asylum Research applications scientists in a hands-on introductory Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) course. This two-day class is aimed at those who are new to AFM or who would like to sharpen their fundamental AFM skills. Through a combination of lectures and hands-on experiments students will learn how to perform the key electrical measurements at the nanoscale using the latest Asylum Research AFMs.
Course material will include introduction to the working principles of AFM surface potential, electrostatic force, magnetic force, conductivity, piezoresponse, and scanning capacitance using industry-standard techniques, key probe selection, measurement optimization & artifacts, and basic image modification & analysis. Additionally, the course will survey key applications utilizing these techniques. Attendees may choose to add an additional day to their course experience, during which they will work directly with Asylum applications scientists to image samples from their own labs or receive advanced training. Students will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the course.
Who Should Attend?
Researchers and academic or industrial users of all skill groups and already familiar with tapping mode and contact mode topographical imaging.
If you are a novice to AFM, we strongly recommend you first enroll in one of our Introduction to AFM courses (Santa Barbara or Concord) on topographical imaging to get the most out of this course.
