A most recent commercial Nano Indenter (Nano Indenter XP (MTS, 2001)) consists of three major components [66] the indenter head, an optical/atomic force microscope, and x-y-z motorized precision table for positioning and transporting the sample between the optical microscopy and indenter (Fig. 28). The load on the indenter is generated using a voice coil in permanent magnet assembly, attached to the top of the indenter column. The displacement of the indenter is measured using a three plate capacitive displacement sensor. At the bottom of the indenter rod, a three-sided... 

The reviews collected in this book convey some of the themes recurrent in nano-colloid science self-assembly, constraction of supramolecular architecture, nanoconfmement and compartmentalization, measurement and control of interfacial forces, novel synthetic materials, and computer simulation. They also reveal the interaction of a spectrum of disciplines in which physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science intersect. Not only is the vast range of industrial and technological applications depicted, but it is also shown how this new way of thinking has generated exciting developments in fundamental science. Some of the chapters also skirt the frontiers, where there are still unanswered questions. 

The Mossbauer effect, discovered by Rudolf L. Mossbauer in 1957, can in short be described as the recoil-free emission and resonant absorption of gamma radiation by nuclei. In the case of iron, the source consists of Co, which decays with a half-life of 270 days to an excited state of Fe (natural abundance in iron 2%). The latter, in turn, decays rapidly to the first excited state of this isotope. The final decay generates a 14.4 keV photon and a very narrow natural linewidth of the order of nano eV. 

For this version, the micro structured AlMg3 platelets were coated with silver by CVD in [43], In [44], the platelets were either totally made of silver (as constmction material) or of AlMg3 and then coated by PVD with silver. In the latter version, two sub-versions were made with and without anodic oxidation to a generate nano-porous surface structure.

A nano-light-source generated on the metallic nano-tip induces a variety of optical phenomena in a nano-volume. Hence, nano-analysis, nano-identification and nanoimaging are achieved by combining the near-field technique with many kinds of spectroscopy. The use of a metallic nano-tip applied to nanoscale spectroscopy, for example, Raman spectroscopy [9], two-photon fluorescence spectroscopy [13] and infrared absorption spectroscopy [14], was reported in 1999. We have incorporated Raman spectroscopy with tip-enhanced near-field microscopy for the direct observation of molecules. In this section, we will give a brief introduction to Raman spectroscopy and demonstrate our experimental nano-Raman spectroscopy and imaging results. Furthermore, we will describe the improvement of spatial resolution...
