Abstract

A series of combination scanning tunneling microscopy (STM)-atomic force microscopy (AFM) laboratory exercises aimed at enhancing the comprehension of atomic and molecular scale concepts were discussed. It provided hands-on experience to help undergraduate students understand the basic theory and operation of scanning probe microscopy (SPM). The students benefitted from the experiment in grasping atomic scale concepts and participating in further inquiry-based learning activities.
