Atomic Force Microscopy

Atomic Force Microscopy

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that can analyze topographic details of various specimens like ceramics, glass, polymers, and biological samples. AFM offers over 1000 times more resolution than the optical imaging system. Images generated from AFM are three-dimensional surface profiles, offering an advantage over the flat, two-dimensional images from other imaging techniques.
The AFM Probe
The probe is regarded as the heart of any AFM setup and comprises the...

To demonstrate the first use of i-AFM for friction measurement.

Main Methods:

Commercial cantilevers were modified using an epoxy-based procedure.
Standard substrates including template-stripped gold, highly oriented pyrolytic graphite, and mica were attached to cantilevers.
The modified cantilevers were imaged using the i-AFM setup.

Main Results:

Successful modification of commercial cantilevers with various substrates.
High-resolution imaging of these substrates using the i-AFM.
Acquisition of lateral force images, demonstrating friction measurement capabilities.

Conclusions:

The developed fabrication techniques improve the i-AFM design.
This study presents the first successful friction measurement using the i-AFM.
The enhanced i-AFM holds promise for advanced surface analysis and friction studies.
