Probing ion transport at the nanoscale: Time-domain electrostatic force spectroscopy on glassy electrolytes

摘要

We have carried out time--domain electrostatic force spectroscopy on twodifferent ion conducting glasses using an atomic force microscope. We comparethe electrostatic force spectroscopic data obtained at different temperatureswith macroscopic electrical data of the glasses. The overall consistency of thedata shows that electrostatic force spectroscopy is capable of probing the iondynamics and transport in nanoscopic subvolumes of the samples.
