Correlation Force Spectroscopy for Single Molecule Measurements (Springer Theses) - Softcover

Radiom, Milad

 
9783319386409: Correlation Force Spectroscopy for Single Molecule Measurements (Springer Theses)

Synopsis

This thesis addresses the development of a new force spectroscopy tool, correlation force spectroscopy (CFS) for the measurement of the properties of very small volumes of material (molecular to µm3) at kHz-MHz frequency range. CFS measures the simultaneous thermal fluctuations of two closely-spaced atomic force microscopy (AFM) cantilevers. CFS then calculates the cross-correlation in the thermal fluctuations that gives the mechanical properties of the matter that spans the gap of the two cantilevers. The book also discusses development of CFS, its advantages over AFM, and its application in single molecule force spectroscopy and micro-rheology.

About the Author

Milad Radiom received his PhD in Chemical Engineering at Virginia Tech in 2014, after MEng and BSc in Thermal and Fluids Engineering and Mechanical Engineering respectively from Nanyang Technological University and Amirkabir University of Technology. Thereafter, he was appointed as a postdoctoral research associate in Laboratory of Colloid and Surface Chemistry, University of Geneva.  His research interests are physical chemistry of polymers, colloids and surfaces as related to single molecule force spectroscopy, micro-rheology and surface forces.
