摘要
Frequency-sweep and phase imaging experiments of tapping mode atomic force microscopy were carried out for patterned self-assembled monolayers of S(CH2)(15)CH3 and S (CH2)(12)OH groups on a polycrystalline Au substrate. The phase shift values of opposite signs associated with phase imaging instability are shown to be the same as the corresponding ones resulting from frequency-sweep hysteresis.
