    Direct imaging, three-dimensional interaction spectroscopy, and friction anisotropy of atomic-scale ripples on MoS2

    Theory predicts that two-dimensional (2D) materials may only exist in the presence of out-of-plane deformations on atomic length scales, frequently referred to as ripples. While such ripples can be detected vi...

    Plasticity, healing and shakedown in sharp-asperity nanoindentation

    Spatially localized stress fields produced by instrumented, sharp indentation probes are a route to testing the mechanical properties of materials at the smallest length scales. Here we provide direct experime...

    Imaging, Manipulation, and Spectroscopic Measurements of Nanomagnets by Magnetic Force Microscopy

    Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) is a well-established technique for imaging the magnetic structures of small magnetic particles. In cooperation with external magnetic fields, MFM can be used to study the magne...
