Study of the influence of surface acoustic waves on friction

We present the study of the influence of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) on point-contact friction in scanning force microscopy. First, the effect of friction reduction due to Rayleigh-type SAWs was demonstrated. In order to visualize the dependence of this effect on the wave amplitude, we mapped stan...
