摘要
The forces between a sharp tip and a sample an characteristic for different sample materials, A new method for quantifying the elastic tip-sample interaction forces from measured frequency vs. distance curves is presented. The dynamic force-spectroscopy curves investigated were obtained by dynamic force microscopy under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions for large vibration amplitudes with commercial levers/tips. The full non-linear force-distance relationship is deduced via a numerical algorithm, where the equation of motion describing the oscillation of the tip is solved explicitly. The elastic force distance dependence can be determined by fitting the results of a computer simulation to experimental frequency vs. distance data. The obtained force-distance curves can be compared quantitatively with theoretical models. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
