Creating complex structures by electrochemical manipulation. (a) Particle structure on a bare glass substrate; the dashed lines serve only to highlight the text ‘AFM’. (b) Schematic representation of the structure shown above. (c) Another structure but formed on a silane-modified glass slide (θ = 48°). The adhesion forces are higher, leading to more stable structures with a lower gripping probability. The abbreviation ‘PC II’ stands for ‘Physical Chemistry II’. (d) Schematic representation for structure in (c).
