摘要:
We present a first‐principles study of elastic surface deformations, limits of atomic resolution, and of atomic‐scale friction in atomic force microscopy (AFM). In the case of a Pd AFM tip interacting with a graphite surface, we find that atomic resolution can be achieved in a narrow load range near ≊10−8N (per Pd tip atom). For these loads, we determine the microscopic friction coefficient to be μ≊10−2.
