AFM metal specimen discs, gold-coated

Advanced nanotechnology specimen support for Atomic Force Microscopy.

Gold-coated AFM discs provide excellent substrates for mounting specimens, due to their high resistance to electromigration, high electrical and thermal conductivity and high temperature operation properties. Gold is the most inert metal. Its adhesion to polymers is expected to be lower than that of other metals, however polymer irradiation with UV light and plasma discharge have been reported to enhance metal-polymer adhesion.

High quality gold-coated magnetic stainless steel (alloy 430) discs with smooth edges and consistently flat surfaces. The discs are supplied in PELCO AFM disc carriers suitable for use in the PELCO AFM Dispenser.
