Samples for Scanning Probe Microscopes : Products & Solutions
Consumables
Highly Ordered Pyrolytic Graphite
Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) is commonly utilized in Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) as a calibration standard. Its well-defined surface structure, electrical conductivity, and ease of imaging make it an ideal substrate for SPM experiments.
Bismuth Telluride
Bismuth Telluride (Bi₂Te₃) is frequently employed in Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) as a model material for studying topological insulators and thermoelectric properties due to its unique electronic structure and surface properties, enabling precise characterization at the nanoscale.
STM/AFM Grade Mica Substrate
STM/AFM Grade Mica Substrates are utilized extensively in Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) for their atomically flat surfaces and excellent electrical insulation properties, enabling high-resolution imaging and precise probing of surface structures and properties at the nanoscale.
Thermally Evaporated Gold on Mica
Thermally Evaporated Gold on Mica substrates are valued in Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) for their uniformity, stability, and electrical conductivity, making them ideal for studying surface phenomena, molecular interactions, and nanoscale devices with high precision and reproducibility.
