Coupled molecular and cantilever dynamics model for frequency-modulated atomic force microscopy

A molecular dynamics model is presented, which adds harmonic potentials to the atomic interactions to mimic the elastic properties of an AFM cantilever. It gives new insight into the correlation between the experimentally monitored frequency shift and cantilever damping due to the interaction betwee...
