Force Microscopy II - Mechanical Spectroscopy - Einzelansicht

Room change. Lecture and exercises will take place in the Physics Building (no 28), room 0.010 = seminar room of R. Hoffmann-Vogel's group. Full number: 2.28.0.010

Vorlesung "Force Microscopy (I) -- Advanced Microscopy" (S. Santer, wird im SoSe angeboten)

Mixture of experimental techniques and theoretical modelling, centred on basic phenomena at the nm-scale.

Preliminary list of topics

• mechanical oscillators (cantilever)
• forces on the atomic and few nm scales
• force measurements: linear and nonlinear signals, thermal and other noise
• optomechanics: measuring and "pushing" with light interferometers
• Langevin modelling of mechanical oscillators, damping and fluctuations
• heat transport on the nm scale: electrons, phonons, photons
