The high dispersion found in the literature for the conductivity of Reduced Graphene Oxide (RGO) layers makes it highly desirable to develop fast and non-invasive methods for their characterization. Here we show that Electrostatic Force Microscopy (EFM) is an in situ, fast, and contactless technique to evaluate the co…

As is shown in the literature, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-active Ag films obtained by the salting-out of Ag colloids from solutions with some salts, are popularly used to examine the structure of analytes. SERS-active Ag nanoparticles (NPs) demonstrate more significant SERS effects than Au NPs, however,…

Multiferroic BaSrTiO3/NdBiFeO3 (BST/BNFO) mulilayers with 3 nm and 6 nm layer thickness demonstrate superlattice structure in the XRD patterns. The break of the spin cycloide and interface strain results in ferromagnetic behavior and enhancement of magnetization. The total thickness of BNFO is varied in the range of 5…

It is a well-known fact that scanning electron microscopic (SEM) image acquisition is mainly affected by nonlinearities and instabilities of the column and probe-specimen interaction; in turn, producing a shift in the image points with respect to many parameters and time, in particular. Even though this drift is compa…
