Atomic Force (AFM)

ImageNanosurf is excited to announce that we will be in Arizona in October and we are inviting you to see our new high performance DriveAFM in action. Come explore the possibilities of atomic force microscopy, interact with the invited speakers and Nanosurf, and have lunch on us. If you have a sample of your own you would like to image, please sign up for submitting a sample and our team will be in touch to be sure we are prepared.

All experience levels and research applications are welcome.

Preliminary agenda
- Introduction to Nanosurf and DriveAFM

Asylum Research is sponsoring an AFM webinar for UArizona researchers.  Dr. Erin Ratcliff (CHEE) will describe methodologies for evaluating chemical, electronic, and transport phenomena at the nanoscale of printable electronic materials for energy conversion and biological sensing technologies. Bob Newton from Asylum Research will discuss major application areas for the Cypher S AFM and give case studies of unique experiments which are enabled by this instrument.

The Webinar will be held on Feb 5th at 12 pm.

High performance Atomic Force Microscopes (AFMs) are designed to uncover surface properties ranging from shape and texture to local stiffness and conductivity in various application fields including semiconductors, data storage and polymers, to name a few.

Oxford Instruments Asylum Research will present an overview of their new Jupiter XR AFM. This is an excellent opportunity for students, researchers and team leaders to learn about how AFM could impact their projects or just to get a glimpse of the advances of AFM technology.

Title: 3D Bench Top Manufacturing Application in AFM in-Situ Research in Chemistry and Biology
Date/Time: July 12, 2019, 10 am
Location: Chemical Sciences Building, room 202, University of Arizona
Presenter: Song Xu, Ph.D., Sr. Application Scientist, Park AFM Systems Inc.

The AFM workshop is open to all UA students and researchers who will be using Atomic Force microscopy for their research projects. Lab attendance is limited to 18 and preference will be given to new AFM users.Lecture attendance is not limited. The 3-day AFM workshop will consist of lecture and lab sections geared to introduce new users to the technique. Topics covered will include contact mode, intermittent contact mode (tapping or AAC mode), liquid imaging, and data analysis. This workshop is provided free of charge, and the deadline to apply for the course is Thursday June 6th at 5pm.

Announcing the Annual Keck Center AFM User Workshop

August 3^rd – 5^th

Lecture: 9-11 am Wednesday - Friday

Lab Group 1: 1pm – 5 pm Wednesday August 3^rd

Lab Group 2: 1pm – 5 pm Thursday August 4^th

Park Systems is sponsoring a SICM/AFM Half Day Workshop on at the UA.; This is free to attend and open to all UA researchers! Presentations will be given on their new AFM software as well as the SICM technique and applications. We are even lucky enough to have Dr. Park (the CEO and founder of Park Systems) here to give one of the talks! They will also be doing a demonstration of SICM on their NX10 AFM system.
