• resonance frequency f0 = 61.835 kHz and the Q-factor Q = 22800 were determined in vacuum by recording a resonance curve with the built in function of the Nanonis controller. The optical beam deflection detection uses a 20 mW Superluminescent (TM) light emitting diode that was operated at an intensity of 7

• principles of nature, the energy efficient generation of light requires the usage of extremely toxic materials (mercury, heavy metals and others). This leads to the necessity of expensive and laborious efforts to dispose of the mercury-based fluorescent devices and the semiconductor-based light emitting

• diode (LED) lamps (see, e.g., [1][2]). Moreover, the spectral characteristics of the light produced by these fluorescent and LED lamps are often not perceived as pleasing in contrast to incandescent lamps. But incandescent bulbs convert only 5% of the consumed energy into light and are thus considered

• (Nanosurf AG, Liestal, Switzerland) for frequency demodulation. The AFM/STM setup has been modified by replacing the light source (light-emitting diode exchanged with a laser diode) and using optimised preamplifiers. Preamplifiers have been optimised for low-noise operation at frequencies around 100 kHz and

• spectroscopy (EIS) of the DSCs was measured in the frequency range of 50,000–0.1 Hz at room temperature by a Versa-stat 3 electrochemical workstation (Princeton Applied Research). The EIS measurement was carried out under illumination, which was provided by a light emitting diode (LED, 627 nm) at open-circuit

For the detection of canal fluid motion, one end of each silicone bar was illuminated with an infrared light emitting diode (LED, SFH420). Light, leaving the opposite end of the
