Atomic Force Microscopy
Bert Voigtländer
This book explains the operating principles of atomic force microscopy with the aim of enabling the reader to operate a scanning probe microscope successfully and understand the data obtained with the microscope. Covering both fundamental and important technical aspects of atomic force microscopy, this book concentrates on the principles the methods using a didactic approach in an easily digestible manner. While primarily aimed at graduate students in physics, materials science, chemistry, nanoscience and engineering, this book is also useful for professionals and newcomers in the field, and is an ideal reference book in any atomic force microscopy lab.

Ludovic Bellon, Physics Today Vol. 73, Issue 5, May 2020, p. 57:
“Whether readers are just starting in
the field or running an atomic force microscope
daily, Voigtländer’s Atomic Force
Microscopy will be an excellent companion.
It will usefully complement the user
manual or the application notes of any
instrument. I wish it had been available
when I was beginning my journey in
nanoscience instrumentation 15 years ago,
and I will certainly use it as a reference
book for all the students coming through
our laboratory’s door from now on.”
