Atomic-scale friction control by vibration using friction force microscope
Manipulation of friction at the nanoscale has been traditionally approached by chemical means (lubrication). Recent friction force microscopy (FFM) experiments demonstrated that it can be done mechanically by applying vibration to accessible elements of the system. This paper provides analytic understanding on why vibration can reduce friction based on a 1D model imitating the FFM tip moving on...
متن کاملAtomic force microscope studies of fibrinogen adsorption.
Since its invention in 1986 by Binnig, Quate, and Gerber, the atomic force microscope (AFM) has proven to be an extremely useful tool for examining the interactions of proteins with surfaces. Fibrinogen in particular has been used as a model protein to demonstrate new methodologies for studying protein behavior with AFM due to its unique size, shape, and function. Indeed, fibrinogen's central r...
متن کاملContact electrification studies using atomic force microscope techniques
Contact electrification measurements using atomic force microscopy techniques were performed using micrometer-sized spheres made of polystyrene and flat substrates of either freshly cleaved, highly oriented pyrolytic graphite ~HOPG! or a 0.2-mm-thick Au@111# film grown on mica. The polystyrene/HOPG interaction exhibited significant electrostatic charging when compared to the polystyrene/Au syst...
متن کاملMeasurement of friction coefficients with the atomic force microscope
A new axial method for measuring the friction coefficient with the atomic force microscope is given. This axial method requires no calibration steps and is performed simultaneously with a normal force measurement by measuring the difference between the constant compliance slopes of the extend and retract force curves. The algorithm can be applied retrospectively to extract the friction coeffici...
متن کاملForce Spectroscopy with the Atomic Force Microscope
Introduction and Review Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) Spectroscopy is an AFM based technique to measure, and sometimes control the polarity and strength of the interaction between the AFM tip and the sample. Although the tip-sample interaction may be studied in terms of the energy, the quantity that is measured first is always the tip-sample force, and thus the nomenclature: force spectroscopy....
