Popis: Here, we highlight recent research involving atomic force microscopy investigations of molecular crystals, and focus particularly on the latest relevant advances in our knowledge of crystal-growth mechanisms and structure-property relationships in organic crystals. This brief survey features the importance of incorporating AFM into solid-state research as an essential tool for the informed design and construction of crystalline materials.
