A Free Energy Model for Hysteresis in Ferroelectric Materials (2003, methodology): “As detailed in Smith and Hom (1999), quantification of the electrostatic energy under this assumption yields the Ising model whereas the relaxed assumption that dipoles can orient uniformly yields a Langevin model, which agrees with the Ising model through first-order terms but predicts a slower sat”

Design and Modeling of a High-Speed AFM-Scanner (2007, methodology): “The main limitations are 1) the response time of the force sensor [4], 2) the dynamic behavior of the scanning unit [5], [6], 3) the bandwidth of the feedback loop that controls the interaction force between the tip and the sample [7], and 4) the speed of the data acquisition system [8], [9].”

Feedback for physicists: A tutorial essay on control (2005, background): “In the physics literature, robust controller design has seldom been used, but two recent examples both concern the control of a positioner for an atomic force microscope head (Salapaka et al., 2002; Schitter et al., 2001).”
