Schematic illustration of Friction Force Microscopy (FFM). The AFM cantilever, a small diving board-like structure about 200 micrometers long, 50 micrometers wide, and 1 micrometer thick, has a sharp ...
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has established itself as a decisive tool for probing nanoscale interactions, particularly adhesion forces and capillary phenomena. A precise understanding of these ...
