title: AFM imaging of molecular spin-state changes through quantitative thermomechanical measurements.
abstract: Quantitative atomic force microscopy is used in conjunction with microwire heaters for high-resolution imaging of the Young's modulus changes across the spin-state transition. When going from the high spin to the low spin state, a significant stiffening is observed.
