 UK SPM 2009 will be held in the impressive modern NPL building which houses state of the art lecture theatres and excellent facilities for the exhibition and poster session.
A wide range of topics associated with scanning probe microscopy be covered, including main techniques such as atomic force microscopy and scanning tunnelling microscopy as well as more specialised versions. A wide variety of applications from biological molecules, biomaterials, polymers, crystals, metal and catalyst surfaces, nanostructures, nanomanipulation, instrument and probe development, and more, are likely to be explored.
|
 The Topics
• AFM of biomaterial surfaces
• Bio-molecular and single molecule force spectroscopy
• Nanomechanical measurements and cantilever calibration
• Metrology - dimensional, force, tip shape, etc
• Analytical SPM and increasing information content in SPM measurements
• Spectroscopy coupled with SPM
• Novel methods, modes and instrumentation
• Nano-electronics, nano-magnetism including magnetic force microscopy, scanning hall effect microscopy and spin polarised STM, Piezo-force microscopy
• Quantitative analysis and spectroscopy
|
We welcome contributions on all SPM related topics for oral or poster presentation. We are also keen to promote opportunities for early career researchers, from PhD students to Postdocs and young academics.
