Abstract
This course is a hands-on introduction to atomic force microscopy (AFM). It consists of lectures and practical exercises involving actual AFM use, macroscopic mechanical models of AFM, and computer simulations. Most lab work and the capstone research project will be done in teams of two or three students.
Objective
The objectives of the course are for students to become familiar with the concepts of and equipment for AFM, to understand their results, and to competently use an AFM for a short research project.
