Characterization of single 1.8-nm Au nanoparticle attachments on AFM tips for single sub-4-nm object pickup
This paper presents a novel method for the attachment of a 1.8-nm Au nanoparticle (Au-NP) to the tip of an atomic force microscopy (AFM) probe through the application of a current-limited bias voltage. The resulting probe is capable of picking up individual objects at the sub-4-nm scale. We also dis...
