FEATURES OF APPLYING THE SURFACE CURVATURE DETECTORS FOR ANALYSIS OF THE SIZE OF NANOPARTICLES
The problems of the studying the etching process of the STM probes with temperature convection imposed on the diffusion-convection model are observed. It is shown that taking into account the effect of temperature on the process of mass transfer in the etching solution could be produced with Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation. The three-dimensional model of the chemical etching of the STM probe tip with the thermal gravitational convection was developed.
