Popis: Capabilities of Atomic Force Microscopy in different modes including Electric Force Microscopy and Kelvin Force Microscopy are reviewed and illustrated on several samples including organic photovoltaics (P3HT/PCBM, PEDOT:PSS). Compositional mapping of these blends is enhanced with a combined use of the modes, and variations of local electric properties are detected down to the nanometer scale. The revealed morphology will assist in development of comprehensive models accounting for the structure-property relationship in solar cells and related devices.
