Atomic force microscopy study of nano-confined liquids

In this thesis, we investigate the structural and dynamical properties of nano-confined liquids by means of a new AFM-based technique that has the ability to measure normal force, lateral force, and the distance between the AFM tip and the sample simultaneously. Thanks to the mechanical stability of...
