Electromechanical imaging of biological systems with sub-10nm resolution

Electromechanical imaging of biological systems with sub-10nm resolution

Electromechanical imaging of tooth dentin and enamel has been performed with sub-10nm resolution using piezoresponse force microscopy. Characteristic piezoelectric domain size and local protein fiber ordering in dentin have been determined. The shape of a single protein fibril in enamel is visualized in real space and local hysteresis loops are …
