Scientists Develop Near-Field Microscope That Measures Optical Properties

Scientists of the research group of Prof. Dr. Alfred Meixner and Dr. Dai Zhang from the Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Tübingen have developed a near-field microscope that can measure the optical properties of e. g. semiconductor thin films with a spatial resolution and sensitivity long thought unachievable due to fundamental physical laws (diffraction limit). Both the optical spectrum and the topography of a surface can be mapped simultaneously with nanometre precision – a nanometre corresponding to one millionth of a millimetre.

Study on Nanocrystals Deformation Using TEM Provides New Knowledge on Nano Phenomena

With new, advanced equipment, scientists at Risø DTU have shown that materials to produce micro-and nanocomponents react very differently depending on whether crystals are large or small. This research creates important knowledge that can be used to develop technologies aimed at the nanoproduction of micro-electro-mechanical systems such as digital microphones in mobile phones, miniature pressure sensors in water pumps and acceleration sensors in airbags.
