Quantitative determination of the interaction potential between two surfaces using frequency-modulated atomic force microscopy

The interaction potential between two surfaces determines the adhesive and repulsive forces between them. It also determines interfacial properties, such as adhesion and friction, and is a key input into mechanics models and atomistic simulations of contacts. We have developed a novel methodology to...
