What Does CFM Stand For?
CFM stands for Chemical Force Microscopy
CFM, or Chemical Force Microscopy, is a specialized scanning probe technique used to investigate the chemical properties of surfaces at the nanoscale. By measuring the interaction forces between a functionalized atomic force microscope (AFM) tip and the surface of a sample, CFM enables the mapping of chemical composition, adhesion, and reactivity. This technique is particularly valuable in materials science, biology, and nanotechnology, providing insights into surface phenomena and enabling the characterization of complex materials at a molecular level.
