General information
The Dimension Icon AFM is capable of advanced AFM-based techniques including nanomechanical and nanoelectrical measurements.
Liquid samples may be utilized with the Dimension Icon after explicit approval from the GLAs and the Manager. We have licenses for:
1) PeakForce quantitative Nanoscale Mechanaical Characterization QNM,
2) Peak froce high resolution current mapping micoscopy PFTUNA,
3) Scanning Capacitve Microscopy SCM,
4) Electrochemical AFM EC-AFM,
5) Dark lift,
6) PeakForce-Sanning Electrochemical microscopy SECM,
7) PeakForce Kelving Probe microscopyPeakForce KPFM. The Icon has been upgraded to be able to collect electrical and mechanical data at every tapping point using Bruker DataCube.
A new NanScope analysis program for PCs on avalable on our website
here.
For general topographical measurement, please use the Multimode AFM. Dimension Icon Specifications are at the bottom of the page
To become a user of the Icon, you must submit a proposal to the GLAs via e-mail (cc the Manager) that describes the experimental work to be carried out and any literature president. It may be helpful to disucss the proposal with a GLA first.
