Thin film with gold and glycerol
I'm trying to create a ~2-3 nm thick film with glycerol and gold nanoparticles(30 nm in dia.). The gold particles are in suspension in DI water. I've tried a 5% solution (diluted glycerol) and the DI and gold using a dip coating process with withdraw speed (0.75 mm/min). The film thickness...

Normal force calculation
If I have a silicon substrate and I want to measure normal forces, I take the change in setpoint x the cantilever stiffness x the sensitivity from the force displacement (fd) curves. However, if I am scanning in a liquid (fluid cell) do I use the sensitivity from the fd curves...
