Probing Nanoscale Heat and Force Interactions Using Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM)

Many devices and instruments such as magnetic hard disk drives and atomic force microscopes (AFM) rely on the stable operation of their small probing heads at nanoscale gaps. Due to the small scale of the probing heads, the force interactions (Casimir force and electrostatic force) between the small...
