WELCOME TO NC-AFM 2024

The 25th International Conference on Non-contact Atomic Force Microscopy is part of the series of international conferences devoted to the latest progress in dynamical atomic force microscopy.

The conference covers the experimental, theoretical and instrumental developments in frequency modulation and other dynamic operation modes with particular emphasis on aspects of high-resolution imaging and force spectroscopy.

SCOPES

The Conference welcomes the contribution for oral and poster presentations on the following topics (but not limited to):

Novel instrumentation and techniques
Atomic resolution imaging on insulating substrates, semiconductors, and metals
High-resolution imaging of molecules, clusters and biological systems
Atomic-scale imaging and spectroscopic measurements of 2D materials & quantum materials
Simultaneous force and tunneling spectroscopy
Theoretical analysis of contrast mechanisms; forces & tunneling phenomena
Nanoscale measurements of charges, work function, and magnetic properties
Imaging and spectroscopy in liquid and ambient environments
Lateral force and friction, damping and energy dissipation
