## Abstract The atomic force acoustic microscopy (AFAM) technique has been used to determine elastic properties of films with thicknesses decreasing from several hundreds of nanometers to several nanometers. It has been shown that metal films as thin as 50βnm can be characterized directly without t

## Abstract Atomic force microscopy was used to study the characteristics of polymer films formed via admicellar polymerization (the polymerization of monomers solubilized in adsorbed surfactant aggregates). The investigated system included cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (C~16~TAB) as a cationic su
Single-crystal substrates allow the epitaxial deposition of high-T c superconductor (HTS) films that exhibit high critical current densities (J c ). The decrease in J c observed for films deposited on polycrystalline crystals is attributed to misorientation between adjacent grains. To understand bet
## Abstract This short paper reports a simple method to image low density lipoproteins (LDL) using atomic force microscopy (AFM). This instrument allows imaging of biological samples in liquid and presents the advantage of needing no sample preparation such as staining or fixation that may affect t
