This volume examines the physical and technical foundation for progress in applied scanning probe techniques. It first introduces scanning probe microscopy, including sensor technology and tip characterization, and then details various industrial applications.

The volumes XI, XII and XIII examine the physical and technical foundation for recent progress in applied scanning probe techniques. The first volume came out in January 2004, the second to fourth volumes in early 2006 and the fifth to seventh volumes in late 2006. The field is progressing so fast that there is a need for a set of volumes every 12 to 18 months to capture latest developments. These volumes constitute a timely comprehensive overview of SPM applications.

After introducing scanning probe microscopy, including sensor technology and tip characterization, chapters on use in various industrial applications are presented. Industrial applications span topographic and dynamical surface studies of thin-film semiconductors, polymers, paper, ceramics, and magnetic and biological materials.

The chapters have been written by leading researchers and application scientists from all over the world and from various industries to provide a broader perspective.

Dr. Bharat Bhushan received an M.S. in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1971, an M.S. in mechanics and a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1973 and 1976, respectively, an MBA from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, NY in 1980, Doctor Technicae from the University of Trondheim at Trondheim, Norway in 1990, a Doctor of Technical Sciences from the Warsaw University of Technology at Warsaw, Poland in 1996, and Doctor Honoris Causa from the Metal-Polymer Research Institute of National Academy of Sciences at Gomel, Belarus in 2000. He is a registered professional engineer (mechanical) and presently an Ohio Eminent Scholar and The Howard D. Winbigler Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Graduate Research Faculty Advisor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and the Director of the Nanotribology Laboratory for Information Storage & MEMS/NEMS (NLIM) at the Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio. He is an internationally recognized expert of tribology on the macro- to nanoscales, and is one of the most prolific authors in the field. He is considered by some a pioneer of the tribology and mechanics of magnetic storage devices and a leading researcher in the fields of nanotribology and nanomechanics using scanning probe microscopy and applications to micro/nanotechnology.

Harald Fuchs, Jahrgang 1954 und Vater von drei Kindern, lebt in Pforzheim. Er arbeitete viele Jahre selbstständig in der Werbebranche, bis er sich 2004 umorientierte und unter anderem eine Ausbildung als Elektrobiologe absolvierte. 2008 begann er, sein Wissen auf eigenen Vorträgen und Seminaren an die Menschen weiterzugeben. Technologische sowie gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen und Veränderungen stehen dabei stets im Mittelpunkt seiner Betrachtungen.

From the reviews:

"Volume XIII, dealing with biomimetics and industrial applications, deals with a variety of unconventional applications ... . The editors and their talented authors have been among the leaders in the study of probe methods. ... Each chapter captures both the excitement and the importance of the work and conclusions reported, and will make profitable reading for researchers at all experience levels. ... All the chapters are supported by extensive lists of references and beautifully illustrated and in color too, also along with graphs, equations etc." (Current Engineering Practice, 2009)

"The ... volume covers new advances in biomimetics. ... highlight various studies, techniques and applications that permit us to image, modify, fabricate and control structures at the molecular and atomic level. ... well-written and clearly illustrated. ... also contain ample experimental data and significant discussion of limitations and artifacts." (Barry R. Masters, Optics & Photonics News, September, 2009)
