Abstract

A new nanoparticle manipulation technique is demonstrated by application of electrostatic forces via the atomic force microscope (AFM) tip. Gold nanoparticles with a specific surface charge or mass could be selectively lifted up from a substrate by controlling the potential applied to the AFM tip.
