Atomic force microscopy analysis of surface topography of pure thin aluminum films

Paper summary

This article is about surface analysis of pure aluminum thin films by AFM and films were deposited on stainless and mild steel substrates through rf magnetron sputtering at rf powers of 150 and 200 W and the result of this article shows that the morphologies of the surface structures of Al films vary with power and substrate type.

Nanoscale effects of beverages on enamel surface of human teeth: An atomic force microscopy study

Paper summary

Korean researchers have been used AFM techniques to quantitatively assess the earliest stages of tooth enamel erosion from sugary, acidic drinks. They found that surface roughness increased and elastic modulus decreased with increasing immersion time in the beverages.
