Abstract
The field of atomic probe techniques, which includes the atomic foece (AFM) and Scanning Tunneling (STM) Microscopy is one of the fastest developing fields of surface and condensed matter science. We propose to merge these new techniques with our knowledge on phase transitions in low-dimensional solids to settle the following questions: (i) what is the nature of a solid interface induced order in liquid crystals, (ii) is the so-called Casimir phenomena observable in liquid crystals, (iii) what is the origin of instabilities against bending in layered crystals, and (iv) what is the role of hetero and self intercalation process in structural transitions.
