Figure 5From: Controlled nanodot fabrication by rippling polycarbonate surface using an AFM diamond tipSchematic of the ripple formation mechanisms by an AFM tip. (a) Schematic of the bump formation with many cracks and (b) the cartoon model for the ripple formation. (c) AFM morphology, (d) modulus image, and (e) cross-sections of a ripple structure. (f) The topography and (g) modulus image of a 3D nanodots structure.Back to article page
