Modeling and Estimation of the Volume of Interaction of an Electrostatic Force Microscope Probe with a Dielectric Sample

This thesis seeks to characterize the size of the interaction volume in a sample subject to electric force microscope (EFM) probing. It discusses the historical relevance of the EFM and the experimental method used. It then discusses the modeling of the fields surrounding the grating sample with the...
