                     Field Ion Microscope
• First instrument providing images of atoms.

• Principle of operation is field ionisation (closely
  related to field emission).

• An imaging gas is introduced, these gas atoms
  approach the emitter, hop about until they are
  accommodated to the emitter temperature and are
  then ionised in the high-field regions above
  protruding atoms.

• These ionised atoms then fly along the field
  lines and produce spots on the fluorescent screen
  corresponding to the protruding emitter atom.

FEM & FIM are only useful for samples which can be formed into
very sharp tips.
Electron Source (Themionic GUN)
Transmission Electron Microscope
  • Specimens for examination under the transmission
    electron microscope (TEM) must be specially
    prepared to a thickness that permits the passage of
    electrons (50-500 nm). As the wavelength of
    electrons is much smaller than that of light, the
    resolution attainable in TEM images is many orders
    of magnitude better than that of a light microscope.
    Transmission electron microscopes can reveal the
    finest internal details of a cell.

  • For biological samples, cell structure and morphology
    is commonly determined whilst the localisation of
    antigens or other specific components within cells is
    readily undertaken using specialised preparative
    techniques.

  • Atomic resolution possible

  Scanning Electron Microscope
• By scanning an electron beam across a
  specimen and collecting electrons emitted
  from the irradiated spot we can obtain
  topographical and chemical information on
  materials from the macroscopic scale to very
  high magnifications with great depth of field in
  focus.
• Resolution ~1 nm.

Scanning Probe Microscopy
• Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy
• Atomic Force Microscopy
• Others
     Scanning Probe Microscopes
• SPMs are a family
  of instruments
  used for studying
  properties of
  materials from the
  atomic to the
  micron level.
Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy
• Invented 1981 (Binnig & Rohrer)
• Use sharpened, conducting tip with a bias voltage
  applied between the tip and the sample.
• Within ~1 nm of the sample, electrons tunnel
  between the tip and the sample (direction depending
  on the sign of the bias voltage).

• This tunnelling current varies exponentially with the
  tip-to-sample spacing.

• Tip and sample must be conductors or
  semiconductors (cannot image insulating materials).

• Measures a surface of constant tunnelling probability
  (not the physical topography!)

 Imaging Modes

 • Constant Height
    – Fast
    – Only useful for smooth
      surfaces


 • Constant Current
    – Slower
    – Good for irregular
      surfaces
STM Images
       Atomic Force Microscopy
• An AFM probes the surface of a sample with a sharp tip.
  Tip located at the free end of cantilever that is 100-200
  m long.

• Forces between the tip and cantilever cause the
  cantilever to bend and/or twist.

• This deflection is measured as the tip is scanned over
  the surface, providing a map of the surface topography.

• AFMs can be used to study insulators and conductors.

• AFMs can be operated in air, vacuum, and in liquids.
  Biological measurements, in particular, are often carried
  out in vitro in biological fluids.

     Atomic Force Microscopy
Interaction Forces
• Van der Waals
• Contact mode
   – Close
   – Repulsive
• Non-contact mode
   – 1’s – 10’s of nm tip
     - sample
     separation
   – Attractive




                       F = 0 @ ~0.2nm (length of chemical bond)
 Contact (Repulsive) Mode AFM
• AFM tip makes soft physical contact with
  the sample.

• Contact force causes the cantilever to
  bend to accommodate changes in
  topography.

• Cantilever spring constant less than
  effective spring constant holding atoms
  together in sample.

• F ~ 10-7 – 10-6 N
    Non-Contact (Attractive) Mode
• Vibrating stiff cantilever (100 – 400 Hz)
• Amplitude 1’s – 10’s nm
• Spacing 1’s – 10’s nm
• Total force ~10-12 N
• Detect changes in frequency or amplitude of the
  cantilever caused by changes in the force
  gradient (slope of force-distance curve).
• Height resolution better than 0.1nm
• Good for soft and/or elastic samples
• No contamination of sample by tip
  Contact vs Non-Contact Mode
Comparison
• Non-Contact
  – Low damage
  – Less sensitive to fine
    topographical detail

• Contact
  – Can damage soft samples
    through lateral forces
    (dragging material)

                       Tapping Mode AFM
• Similar to non-contact
  mode, but at bottom of
  travel the tip just ‘taps’ the
  sample surface

• Oscillation amplitude is
  monitored

• Eliminates lateral forces
  (friction /drag)

• Excellent for soft samples
  (e.g. biological samples, LB
  films, etc.)

• Tapping Mode overcomes
  problems associated with
  friction, adhesion, and
  electrostatic forces
         AFM in the Life Sciences
• Fundamental Challenges of Microscopy in
  Biology:
   – to preserve the specimen accurately in the native state
   – to achieve sufficient resolution to learn something
     useful about the structure/function of the specimen

• AFM is a breakthrough technology that allows
  three-dimensional imaging and measurement of
  unstained and uncoated structures in air or fluid
  from molecular to micron scales
   – scanners can now be immersed in liquids without
     damage, allowing direct examination of samples in
     biological fluids, water, or fixation media such as
     glutaraldehyde or ethanol
          AFM in the Life Sciences
• In addition to topographic imaging, the AFM can be
  used simultaneously to measure forces on active
  biological specimens, offering insight into cellular
  and even molecular dynamics.

   – Countless biological processes - muscle contraction, cell
     motility, DNA replication, protein synthesis, drug-receptor
     interactions, and many others - are largely governed by
     intermolecular forces. And with its sensitivity at the
     piconewton-level, the AFM is an excellent tool for probing
     such interactions.

• There is increasing use of AFM probes that have
  been chemically tailored to sense a specific
  biological reaction or interaction (e.g. binding forces
  between individual ligand-receptor pairs, cell
  adhesion, antibody or DNA-based assays).

      Lateral Force Microscopy
• LFM measures the lateral deflections
  (twisting) of the cantilever parallel to the
  plane of the sample surface
• Useful for imaging e.g. composition
  variations not associated with topography,
  and for separating topographic and
  composition variations.
• Also sensitive to changes in the surface
  slope.
• Usually collect both AFM and LFM images
  simultaneously.

           Magnetic Nanoparticles
• Small size implies superparamagnetism
• Ferrofluids: a colloidal mixture of
  magnetic nanoparticles
• Generally made through a reduction
  reaction, however, other methods have
  been used
  – Hydrothermal Synthesis
  – Laser Ablation

Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia (MFH)
  • Also known as magnetocytolysis
  • Inject fluid containing MP’s into patient
  • Use constant magnetic field to
    maneuver particles to desired location
    (tumor, for example)
  • Expose area to oscillating magnetic field
    to cause extremely localized heating
  • Prototype unit being built in Germany

      Magnetic Recording Media
Each nickel “column” has dimensions on the
order of 170 nm diameter, 200 nm high and
2 m apart. This leads to a particle density
below that of today’s hard drives (by
approximately a factor of 10), however, it
demonstrates that other methods for data
storage are feasible. This method can be
used with current read/write heads
Nanomotors/generators using
       Ferrofluids




     Zahn, M. J. Nano. Rsrch, 3: 73-78, 2001
Nanomotors/generators using
       Ferrofluids
• Currently, it appears that very few
  applications explored (mostly theoretical)
• Paradoxical results
  – below a critical magnetic field strength,
    ferrofluids move opposite an AC field.
  – Fluid viscosity is dependent on the field
    strength (zero viscosity fluid reported)



    Ref’s in review: Zahn, M. J. Nano. Rsrch. 3: 73-78, 2001
       Drug Targeting/Gene
       Transfection Studies
Both are methods of delivery using magnetic
fields.
Magnetic Particles with the appropriate ligands
attached are injected into the body and
manipulated to the positions where they will be
activated using magnetic fields.
At this point, the gene/drug will be taken up by
the cell and act as it is supposed to (depending
on the application)

         Electrochemical Reactions
• Electrochemistry using a roughened silver
electrode has been compared to that using an array
of silver nanoparticles on a support.
• Different molecules adsorb differently on the two
surfaces; i.e. there are different types of active sites.
