Quantitative Nanotribology by AFM: A Novel Universal Calibration Platform [PDF]
The quantitative determination of friction forces by atomic force microscopy (AFM) in nanotribology requires the conversion of the output voltage signal of the sector area-sensitive photodiode to force using (a) the torsional spring constant of the ...

Role of Interfacial Water and Applied Potential on Friction at Au(111) Surfaces
The tribological properties between an AFM tip and a Au(111) surface in an aqueous environment is influenced by an applied electrical potential. Using lateral force microscopy, we measure the resulting friction force, while simultaneously applying a pre ...

Surface forces dominating tribological phenomena in nanoconfined liquids: A review
Friction is ubiquitous and plays a key role in the functionality of many biological and engineering systems, from articular cartilage to machinery. While friction facilitates motion, it also causes wear and energy loss in moving parts.
