Subsurface Imaging of the Cores of Polymer Encapsulated Cobalt Nanoparticles 

Polystyrene encapsulated cobalt nanoparticles were imaged with force modulation AFM to distinguish the differences between the soft outer polymer coating and the hard inner cobalt nanoparticle.  Differences in the elastic and viscoelastic properties of the nanoparticles are visualized with nanoscale resolution by monitoring the amplitude and phase signals.
