“…Several experimental groups have studied capillary-induced water bridges on the nanometer scale. − New applications in imaging and nanofabrication have driven efforts to understand nanometer-size capillarity. ,− Capillary transport of molecules from the AFM tip to the solid substrate has been used by Piner et al to write patterns of molecules of submicrometer dimensions. This technique, called dip pen nanolithography, has been also used by Lee et al to generate protein nanoarrays over different surfaces.…”

“…Liquid bridges have also played a key role in the STM imaging of poor conducting biomolecules such as DNA molecules deposited on insulating substrates [6]. Recent advances in scanning probe microscopy applications for both imaging and nanofabrication have driven new efforts to understand nanometer-size systems involving capillaries [7][8][9][10].…”

A method to form and manipulate the properties of nanometer-size liquid bridges by an external electric field is discussed. The properties of bridges are shown to be the result of an interplay among the field-induced polarization of the water layer adsorbed on the surface, the surface energy, and the water condensation from the humid air. For a given tip-sample separation, a simple model predicts the existence of a threshold voltage V(th) to form the bridge in full agreement with experiments.

“…During the writing processes, performed in contact mode at a defined set-point force below 10 nN, the tip scans the surface at constant speed (1 4 m/s) according to a pre-designed pattern. A positive tip-sample bias induces the GaAs local surface oxidation confined in a small water meniscus due to environmental humidity below the tip [77][78][79][80], as shown in Fig. 8.4a.…”

In this work we review novel strategies and new physical effects to achieve compositional and structural recognition at single molecule level. This chapter is divided in two main parts. The first one introduces the strategies currently adopted to investigate matter at few molecules level. Exploiting the capability of surface plasmon polaritons to deliver optical excitation at nanoscale, we introduce a technique relying on a new transport phenomenon with chemical sensitivity and nanometer spatial resolution. The second part describes how micro and nanostructured superhydrofobic textures can concentrate and localize a small number of molecules into a well-defined region, even when only an extremely diluted solution is available. Several applications of these devices as micro- and nano-systems for high-resolution imaging techniques, cell cultures and tissue engineering applications are also discussed
