Webinar Recap: A Guided Tour of AFM Modes for Materials Characterization
This webinar recap summarizes all 22 case studies presented in our 2022 “AFM Imaging and Beyond: A Practical Guide to AFM Modes for Materials Research” webinar.
During this webinar, over the course of five presentations, Bruker AFM experts showcase the growing suite of AFM operational modes for nanoelectrical, nanomechanical, and nanochemical property measurement.
The presentations include multiple case studies showing how a variety of AFM modes are used in applications in materials research and industry. Special attention is paid to the combined use of multiple AFM modes and the modes most frequently used in leading-edge polymer, semiconductor, battery technology, and 2D materials research.
