Interpreting the widespread nonlinear force spectra of intermolecular bonds.
Single molecule force spectroscopy probes the strength, lifetime, and energetic details of intermolecular interactions in a simple experiment. A growing number of these studies have reported distinctly nonlinear trends in rupture force with loading rate that are typically explained in conventional models by invoking complex escape pathways. Recent analyses suggested that these trends should be ...
متن کاملIntermolecular contrast in atomic force microscopy images without intermolecular bonds.
Intermolecular features in atomic force microscopy images of organic molecules have been ascribed to intermolecular bonds. A recent theoretical study [P. Hapala et al., Phys. Rev. B 90, 085421 (2014)] showed that these features can also be explained by the flexibility of molecule-terminated tips. We probe this effect by carrying out atomic force microscopy experiments on a model system that con...
متن کاملModeling of the intermolecular Force-Induced Adhesion in Freestanding Nanostructures Made of Nano-beams
Among the intermolecular interactions, the Casimir and van der Waals forces are the most important forces that highly affect the behavior of nanostructures. This paper studies the effect of such forces on the adhesion of cantilever freestanding nanostructures. The nanostructures are made of a freestanding nano-beam which is suspended between two upper and lower conductive surfaces. The linear s...
متن کاملAtomic force microscopy to study intermolecular forces and bonds associated with bacteria.
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) operates on a very different principle than other forms of microscopy, such as optical microscopy or electron microscopy. The key component of an AFM is a cantilever that bends in response to forces that it experiences as it touches another surface. Forces as small as a few picoNewtons can be detected and probed with AFM. AFM has become very useful in biological sc...
متن کاملIntermolecular atom–atom bonds in crystals?1
The concept of interatomic bonds with more or less characteristic internuclear bond distances and bond energies is firmly established in molecular chemistry. The transfer of this concept to the world of intermolecular arrangements in crystals is appealing and has come into wide usage in discussions of actual and possible crystal structures. However, there are circumstances that render such a tr...
