Application of scanning micro-tip and UHV Kelvin probes in surface and material characterisation.
In this thesis we present work utilising the scanning Kelvin probe (SKP) for surface potential mapping and monitoring changes in work function due to environmental influences in ambient and UHV conditions. The SKP is a truly non-contact technique which determines local work function changes and …

Study of semiconductor and metal surfaces using a novel scanning Kelvin probe.
… reports design and construction of a novel Scanning Kelvin probe (SKP) compatible with the Ultra-High-Vacuum (UHV) environment - the first automatic, high resolution, UHV-SKP in the UK. The Kelvin Probe is a capacitor device used to measure the work function phi between a vibrating reference …

Development and application of the scanning Kelvin probe for solar cell defect analysis.
The Kelvin probe is a non-contact, non invasive capacitor device capable of detecting changes in local work function and surface state and has become a valuable tool for surface science research. This thesis presents three years of work centred on the development and novel applications of the …
