Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy: Characterizing Nanostructures
As design rules for technologies used in applications as diverse as materials research and advanced data storage rapidly approach nanometer size, the hunt is on for simple and effective methods to characterize nanostructures. The ideal would be a high-resolution microscopy technique offering easy-to-interpret optical images; however, light’s diffraction limit presents a stumbling block to...
