Primary analysis of images from the world’s first space probe microscope "CMM-2000С" in the Earth satellite "Nanoprobe-1"
Abstract
The whole series of unique frames obtained over a year and a half from the world’s first space scanning probe microscope "CMM-2000C", operating in outer space in the Earth’s satellite Nanosonde-1 and capturing with nanometre precision changing the surface relief of a golden mirror exposed to solar wind and dust. Numerical analysis of gold relief frames on the change of roughness parameters, fractal dimensionality and statistics on grain sizes was obtained, graphs of change of these characteristics correlated with solar activity graphs are presented. Participation of a wide scientific community for interpretation of the obtained data is suggested.



FemtoScan concole type scanning probe microscope
Abstract
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is one of the main methods used to characterize the mechanical properties of soft biological samples and biomaterials at the nanoscale. Experimental studies often require unique modifications of the setup, so it is desirable to make the mechanical part more compact, the electronics – optimal, and the software – more user-friendly. This paper discusses the improvement of the instrumental part of the atomic force microscope for studying objects of various geometries in the contact, resonance, resistive and magnetic microscopy modes.



Precision delivery of liquid reagents to technological equipment based on a liquid flow regulator
Abstract
A design of a liquid flow controller (LFC) for supplying liquid reagents to technological equipment using a differential pressure sensor is proposed. The results of LFC tests for regulating the liquid flow are presented. The possibility of regulating the liquid supply in the milliliter range with a relative error of less than 3% is demonstrated.

Study of structure and properties of nanosized molybdenum oxide stabilized by hydroxyethylcellulose
Abstract
In this work, samples of nanoscale molybdenum oxide stabilised by hydroxyethylcellulose were prepared by sol-gel method. Scanning electron microscopy microstructure studies showed that the hydroxyethylcellulose-stabilised molybdenum oxide sample is represented by irregularly shaped aggregates ranging in size from 4 to 75 μm, which consist of nanoparticles with diameters ranging from 30 to 60 nm. As a result of computer quantum-chemical modelling of interaction between hydroxyethylcellulose and molybdenum oxide, it was found that the presented compound is energetically advantageous (∆E ≥ 4022.388 kcal/mol) and interaction occurs through the hydroxyl group attached to the C2 residue of glucopyranose. This compound has a chemical rigidity value of 0.078 eV ≤ η ≤ 0.082 eV, indicating its stability. By IR spectroscopy, it was found that interaction between hydroxyethylcellulose and molybdenum oxide occurs through the hydroxyl group.



Stabilization of titanium dioxide nanoparticles by methylcellulose
Abstract
In this work, titanium dioxide nanoparticles stabilized with methylcellulose were synthesized by chemical precipitation in an aqueous medium. Titanium tetraisopropylate was used as a precursor, and an aqueous solution of ammonia was used as a precipitator. When examining the microstructure of the obtained samples surface, it was found that titanium dioxide nanoparticles stabilized with methylcellulose form spherical particles with a diameter from 70 to 100 nm, from which further conglomerates are formed, also spherical, with a diameter of up to 2 microns. A study of phase composition showed that the sample has an amorphous structure with a tetragonal crystal lattice. The study of the phase composition showed that the sample consists of three phases with different types of crystal lattices. To determine the optimal type of interaction of titanium dioxide particles with methylcellulose, computer quantum chemical modeling was performed. It was found that the process of stabilization of titanium dioxide nanoparticles by methylcellulose is energetically beneficial and interaction occurs through a hydroxyl group. The samples were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to confirm the modelling results. The analysis of the results revealed that interaction of titanium dioxide nanoparticles occurs with the charged group OH–.



Atomic force microscopy of potato virus X
Abstract
Obtaining new particles of biological nature is an urgent task for modern biotechnologies development. Virions of plant viruses, virus-like particles assembled from a single viral protein, as well as structurally modified particles formed by heating viral particles in aqueous solution, have recently found a number of applications in development of vaccines, carriers for biologically active molecules, and use as antitumour drugs. Previously, we studied the structural transition process into spherical particles of tobacco mosaic virus rod-shaped by atomic force microscopy. In this work, we consider the stepwise structural transition of filamentous potato virus X into spherical particles at increasing temperature, and study the dependence of the formation of structurally modified particles on duration of heating and concentration of virus particles.



Living cell as an object in scanning probe microscopy
Abstract
The mechanical properties of cells and tissues can reflect pathological conditions such as tumors, inflammation, and viral infections. Probe microscopy allows one to evaluate the mechanical properties of biological samples with minimal impact on the object of study. Advanced probe microscopy methods allow one to evaluate cell morphology and rigidity, measure elasticity, Young’s modulus, adhesion, and resistance to mechanical impact, and record force curves at a specific point. In addition, AFM allows one to perform noninvasive and nondestructive measurements with simple sample preparation in air and in an aqueous environment at room temperature, which significantly increases its advantage for studying biological functions.



Assessment of the influence of ion treatment on the value of residual mechanical stresses in Al2O3/Si
Abstract
The study results of the effect of the ion treatment time of an Al2O3 thin–film coating formed on a silicon substrate on the magnitude of residual stresses in the film-substrate interface are presented. Ion etching of the film is carried out by a Penning ion source with argon ions. The interrelation between the substrate shape and the level of mechanical stresses after processing the Al2O3 coating with an ion source is shown for the first time. The negative effect of processing the dielectric Al2O3 coating with a high-energy argon ion flow on the appearance of the film is shown.
