Outline of Final Research Achievements

We tried to establish fabrication technique for a local chemical reaction induction probe. We used metal oxide nanorod that have local electric field enhancement effect and nanoscale photo catalyst was placed in the active site. Kelvin probe force microscope measurement was carried out for observing spatial distribution of photo voltage in a nanorod. Local oxidation of nanorod was succeeded by anode oxidation with AFM. We have successfully constructed AFM-RAMAN system and multiple-probe AFM system working in liquid.
