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 کاملHydration force in the atomic force microscope: A computational study.
Using a hard sphere model and numerical calculations, the effect of the hydration force between a conical tip and a flat surface in the atomic force microscope (AFM) is examined. The numerical results show that the hydration force remains oscillatory, even down to a tip apex of a single water molecule, but its lateral extent is limited to a size of a few water molecules. In general, the contrib...
متن کاملNanolithography and manipulation of graphene using an atomic force microscope
We use an atomic force microscope (AFM) to manipulate graphene films on a nanoscopic length scale. By means of local anodic oxidation with an AFM we are able to structure isolating trenches into single-layer and few-layer graphene flakes, opening the possibility of tabletop graphene based device fabrication. Trench sizes of less than 30 nm in width are attainable with this technique. Besides ox...
متن کاملModification of 1d Ballistic Transport Using an Atomic Force Microscope
We have used the scanning charged tip of an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) to produce images of the conductance variation of a quantised 1D ballistic channel. The channel was formed using electron beam defined 700 nm wide split gate surface electrodes over a high mobility GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure with a two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) 98 nm beneath the surface. We operate the AFM at 1.5 K...
متن کاملScanned-cantilever atomic force microscope
We have developed a 3.6 pm scan range atomic force microscope that scans the cantilever instead of the sample, while the optical-lever detection apparatus remains stationary. The design permits simpler, more adaptable sample mounting, and generally improves ease of use. Software workarounds alleviate the minor effects of spurious signal variations that arise as a result of scanning the cantilev...
