Friction Force Spectroscopy in the Low-Load Regime with Well-Defined Tips

  • Chapter
Micro/Nanotribology and Its Applications

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 330))

Abstract

The frictional force F f was determined on different materials as a function of the loading force F n by means of friction force spectroscopy. Specially prepared tips with spherical tip ends and a variety of tip radii between ≈10–100 nm were employed. For this type of tip, a mathematical description of F f (F n ) can be found. Comparison of theory and experiment at the example of amorphous carbon shows good agreement.
