Nanoscale SPM Characterisation of Nacre Argonite Plates and Synthetic Human Amyloid Fibres

Grishin I., Tinker C., Allsop D., Robson A., Kolosov O.V., Lancaster University, UK

Nacre exhibits structural robustness despite the brittle nature of its constituents. A detailed understanding of its fabrication principles developed in nature can lead to new ideas in material design and synthesis. But due to this [...]

Direct nanoscale 3D characterisation of Ge-Sb-Te and Ge-Te phase change films

Grishin I., Kolosov O.V., Lancaster University, UK

DC magnetron sputter-deposited Ge-Sb-Te and Ge-Te based phase change thin films were investigated via a variety of Scanning Probe Microscopy techniques. Micron and sub-micron crystalline and amorphous bit patterns were induced with laser heating and [...]
