A study of hyperbolic plasmon polaritons in Molybdenum Oxide Dichloride (MoOCl2) with s-SNOM
“Bad metals may make for poor electrical conductors, but it turns out that they make good quantum materials… Bad metals might not be so bad after all.”
What do geckos and our non-contact AFM probes Tap300Al-G have in common? They both take advantage of van der Waals forces. For a refresher on these weak intermolecular forces, check here:
Our platinum coated ElectriMulti75-G AFM probes support the research of two-dimensional silk.
“Despite the promise of silk-based devices, the inherent disorder of native silk limits performance. Here, we report highly ordered two-dimensional silk fibroin (SF) films grown epitaxially on van der Waals (vdW) substrates… Scanning Kelvin probe measurements show that these films substantially alter the surface potential; thus, they provide a platform for silk-based electronics on vdW solids.”
