| Summary | A set of surface-sensitive analytical techniques, collectively called scanning probe microscopy (SPM), has been developed and applied to a wide variety of materials. With SPM one can image nearly any surface in vacuum, in air, or in solution, and often can actually observe surfaces during reaction. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning force microscopy (SFM) have been used successfully in geosciences, and this volume introduces the theory and operation of SPM to clay mineralogists, summarises previous work using STM and SFM in mineralogy, and outlines the advantages and limitations of SPM for future research applications. |
