Surface response functions for a thin-film between fluids with infinite boundaries and for a fluid-fluid interface between finite boundaries.

Measuring the surface response function of a fluid allows us to ascertain many of its properties. Simplified surface response functions are presented for several interface conditions, including (a) a thin-film between two fluids of infinite extent, (b) the newly derived fluid-fluid interface between finite boundaries, and (c) the traditional fluid-fluid interface between infinite boundaries. The finite-boundary derivation indicates that wall effects are very short range. This portends that the effects of external vibrations, which traditionally make this measurement challenging, can be mitigated by scattering from thin fluid layers.

Near-field microwave microscope and electron-spin-resonance detection: ruby crystal surface.

Microwave photons can image a surface by using near-field geometry with spatial resolution close to the nanometer-length scale. We detected electron-spin resonance (ESR) on ruby surfaces by using microwave photons at the S-band frequency (3.73 GHz). The spatial locations of the electron-spin centers were pinpointed with localized incident microwave photons generated by using evanescent microwave microscopy (EMM). We show that the EMM probe is capable of resolving 20,000 spin transitions, compared with the approximately 10(10) minimum detectable spins of the conventional continuous-wave ESR spectrometer. This represents roughly a 6-order-of-magnitude enhancement in sensitivity. Our ultimate goal is to achieve the minimum detectable spin transition of a single electron and nanometer-level spatial resolution by using microfabricated atomic force microscopy-EMM probes.
