Why we need Pt/Ir coated tips, Force constant (0.01, 0.11, 0.5) values for KPFM to measure surface potential? Why Force constant should should low?

I am Doing KPFM of TMDCs(MoS2, NbS2, WS2 and V2O3). I wonder why we need Force constant values very low and Mechanical Resonance Frequency Values around 75KHz.??

PET is hard to dissolve , try a mix of of phenol and dichlorobenzene at 220°C

Mahshab Sheraz

Thanks, Dr. Eric Finot.Dear Dr. Eric,

Thank you for your response. When producing PET nanoplastics, researchers typically use 10mL of TFA (90 percent v/v). However, nobody has mentioned how they diluted the TFA. I mean with which solvent? I have attempted multiple solvents without success.

Can you offer your professional advice in this regard?

Thanks
