| nc-AFM Award for Prof. Alexis Baratoff 2019-08-12  During the 22nd international ncAFM conference (July 29th to August 2nd, 2019) in Regensburg, Prof. Alexis Baratoff got the nc-AFM award for his theoretical contributions in this field of research. The award is a 40 million times enlarged model of the Silicon 7x7 surface. Original data were obtained by the non-contact AFM with a CO-terminated tip by Emmerich et al [Science 348, 308 (2015)] and then machined by the workshop of the University of Regensburg.
