“…[111,112] Local and controlled tip-induced oxidation has been applied to surfaces of other materials beside silicon, such as thin molybdenum films, [113] aluminum, [114,115] titanium, [116] and cobalt. [117] Successive functionalization of surfaces, likley already nanopatterned, is probably one additional step towards nanodevices, in which SPL plays an important role. Recently, norbornadiene derivatives (TMSAN) have been attached to a Si(110) surface, which had been previously modified by STM electron-stimulated depassivation.…”

In this Progress Report, outstanding scientific applications of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) in the field of materials science and the latest technique developments are introduced and discussed. Besides being able to image the organization of matter with sub‐nanometer resolution, SPM, owing to its basic operating principle, provides the power to measure, analyze, and even quantify properties of matter on the nanometer length scale. Moreover, because of its unique potential to manipulate the organization of atoms, molecules, assemblies, or particles and to structure surfaces in a controlled fashion, in the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology SPM has become one of the most powerful tools for preparation and analysis of nanostructures and their functionality. Because of the tremendous variety of its applications, only selected—but subjectively exceptional—topics are considered in this Progress Report, showing the full potential of SPM.

“…The fabrication of nanostructures composed of various functional inorganic materials on substrates is becoming a more and more important issue in nanoscience and technology, because this is very important for both building nanodevices and characterizing the nanostructures 18–23. The inorganic nanostructures24, 25 may have unique properties and potential applications in electronics [20, 23, 26] , optics,27 catalysis,21 sensing,28–30 field emission and display devices,26 energy conversion,31 magnetics,32–34 and so on. These applications need sophisticated control over the composition, size, morphology, and structure of the nanostructures to ensure their high performance.…”

Controlled preparation of inorganic nanostructures on substrates is very important for various applications of functional inorganic nanomaterials. Dip-pen nanolithography (DPN), as an atomic force microscopy (AFM) based technique, can directly fabricate nanostructures with precise position and morphology control on the nanometer scale and meanwhile image the produced nanostructures in situ at high resolution. This Focus Review summarizes the challenges and progress in preparing inorganic nanostructures with DPN. The ink and reaction design, morphology and structure control, high-speed lithography, and the application of DPN-generated nanopatterns are all involved. The evolution and development of this technique, its superiorities, and unique properties are also discussed.

ABSTRACT:The domain structure of a magnetostrictive Fe 40 Ni 38 Mo 4 B 18 amorphous ribbon has been studied using magnetic force microscopy (MFM) at room temperature. First, the evolution of the magnetic domain patterns as a function of the annealing temperature has been investigated. In samples heat treated at 250 and 450 °C for 1 h, a transformation from 90° to 180° domain wall has been clearly observed, while the sample heat treated at 700 °C for 1 h showed a magnetic phase fixed by the crystalline anisotropy. Additionally, the evolution of the magnetic domain structure by applying a DC current was recorded by the MFM technique. For current annealed samples at 1 A for 1, 30 and 60 min, a transformation between different domain patterns has been observed. Finally, in samples treated by the current annealing method under simultaneous stress, an increase of the annealing time gives rise to a different magnetic structure arising from the development of transverse magnetic anisotropy.
