Measuring Nanoscale Stress Intensity Factors with an Atomic Force Microscope
Atomic Force Microscope images of a crack intersecting the free surface of a glass specimen are taken at different stages of subcritical propagation. From the analysis of image pairs, it is shown that a novel Integrated Digital Image Correlation technique allows to measure stress intensity factors in a quantitative fashion. Image sizes as small as 200 nm can be exploited and the surface displac...
متن کاملPolymer Characterization with the Atomic Force Microscope
Atomic force microscopy is a powerful characterization tool for polymer science, capable of revealing surface structures with superior spatial resolution [1]. The universal character of repulsive forces between the tip and the sample, which are employed for surface analysis in AFM, enables examination of even single polymer molecules without disturbance of their integrity [2]. Being initially d...
متن کاملMethod for characterizing nanoscale wear of atomic force microscope tips.
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful tool for studying tribology (adhesion, friction, and lubrication) at the nanoscale and is emerging as a critical tool for nanomanufacturing. However, nanoscale wear is a key limitation of conventional AFM probes that are made of silicon and silicon nitride (SiNx). Here we present a method for systematically quantifying tip wear, which consists of sequ...
متن کاملCharacterization of Fish Gelatin at Nanoscale Using Atomic Force Microscopy
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used as a meaningful tool to characterize the nanostructure of gelatin from catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) skin. The gelatins extracted with pretreatments including acid pretreatment, alkaline pretreatment, and alkaline followed by acid pretreatment (optimized extraction conditions). The resulting gelatins were imaged using AFM and their nanostructure was studie...
متن کاملAtomic-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...
