Chemical silver coating of fiber tips in near-field scanning optical microscopy

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We report what is believed to be the first experimental demonstration of silver coating by a wet chemical process on tapered fiber tips used in near-field scanning optical microscopy. The process occurs at room temperature and pressure and takes only a few minutes to complete. Many tips can be coated simultaneously.
