Abstract

Inferring the surface charge distribution from experimental Kelvin probe microscopy measurements is usually a hard task. Although several approximations have been proposed in order to estimate the effect of these charges, the real inverse problem has not been addressed so far. In this paper, we propose a fast and intuitive method based on Fast Fourier Transform algorithms that allows the surface charge distribution to be obtained directly from the experimental Kelvin voltage measurements. With this method, quantitative physical information such as the total charge and charge position is accessible even in complex charge distributions such as highly insulating polymer surfaces. Moreover, one of the strongest points is that sub-tip resolution is achieved, and therefore the usually unknown charge size can be estimated.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
