VersaSCAN-SKP Scanning Kelvin Probe Microscope
The Kelvin Probe experiment uses a nondestructive method to determine the relative work function difference between the probe and the sample. Work function describes the energy required to liberate an electron from the surface of a conductor; electrochemists often interpret this as the energy difference from an electrode’s Fermi Level, average energy of electrons, and that of vacuum.
- Uses a relative work function measurement, typically in atmospheric conditions, to map the anodic and cathodic nature of samples
- Superior probe design and signal measurement capability provide high resolution measurements
