TEM
The atomic force microscope (AFM) system has evolved into a useful tool for direct
measurements of intermolecular forces with atomic-resolution characterization that can be
employed in a broad spectrum of applications such as electronics, semi-conductors,
materials and manufacturing, polymers, biology and biomaterials. AFM provides additional
capabilities and advantages relative to other microscopic methods (e.g. scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM)) in studies of metallic
surfaces and micro-structures by providing reliable measurements at the nanometer scale .
AFM can also be used for nanoindentation to provide in situ imaging ability without moving
the sample, switching tips, relocating the area for scanning, or using an entirely different
instrument to image the indentation . Force modulation microscopy (FMM) which is an
extension of AFM imaging, is used extensively for the characterization of mechanical
properties and in applications such as imaging composition changes in a composite material,
analyzing polymer homogeneity, and detecting contaminants in manufacturing processes.
Assembly of nanoparticles and linking them to electrical leads, such as random deposition of
clusters between electrodes, binding by wet chemistry, and electrostatic trapping, all serve as
other important applications of the AFM technique.

Figure 1: Topography images of TiO2 nanoparticles on Silicon; frame size: 1m. The deposition of
nanoparticles was accomplished by using a dilution of (a) 1:10, (b) 1:40 and (c) 1:50 from a 0.04%
aqueous TiO2-suspension. The height of the nanoparticles is in the range of 9-11 nm.

BE is core electrons for element. The BE is determined by the attraction of the electrons to
the nucleus. If an electron with energy X is pulled away from the nucleus, the attraction
between the electron and the nucleus decreases and the BE decreases. Eventually, there
will be a point when the electron will be free of the nucleus.
