Patterning materials on hydrophobic polymer substrates have extensive applications in fabricating flexible devices at low cost, while the low transfer efficiency encumbers its advance. This paper provides a facile route to transfer materials onto hydrophobic polymer substrates with high...

Ce-doped Bi2Ti2O7 thin films have been successfully prepared on P-type Si substrates by a chemical solution deposition method. The structural properties of the films were studied by X-ray diffraction. The phase of Ce-doped Bi2Ti2O7 was more stable than that of Bi2Ti2O7 without Ce substitution....

Herein, we showed a different approach to directly single-molecule level visualization of the degradation of DNA in vitro tests using DNase I incubation based on high-resolution AFM imaging ex situ with fine relocation nanotechnology. A method of nanomanipulation termed as "modified dynamic...

Sample preparation is an important procedure for atomic force microscope (AFM) studies. However, flexible virus particles have a tendency to aggregate together and are easily compressed during sample preparation or by AFM tip that subsequently hamper studying of virus by AFM. Herein, low...

Buffer is often involved in the biological studies on a surface with the scanning probe microscopy and the remnant of the salts of buffer may affect the correct interpretation of the experimental results. However, the knowledge on the performance of chemicals of buffer on a substrate is still...
