  2. EEW508 VI. Mechanical Properties at Surfaces Measurement of adhesion force between AFM tip and sample with force-distance curve At the point A, the tensile load is the same with the adhesion force (FAB corresponds to the adhesion force)

  3. EEW508 VI. Mechanical Properties at Surfaces Schematic of force-distance curve • Tip is far away • Tip is moved closer to the sample, and the attractive force between tip and sample begins the tip down. • Repulsive region – the sample is pressed by the tip, which causes the elastic and plastic deformation. • The sample moves in the opposite direction, the tip and the sample surfaces maintains the contact. The arrow on the curve indicates loading and unloading process

  4. EEW508 VI. Mechanical Properties at Surfaces Tip-sample forces 1. Van der Waals force -- is caused by fluctuations in the electric dipole moment of atoms and their mutual polarization 2. Electrostatic force -- When the tip and sample are both conductive and have an electrostatic potential difference V, electrostatic forces are important. 3. Capillary force – forces caused by water bridge formed at the tip-sample contact 4. Chemical force - chemical interaction between the tip and sample

  8. EEW508 VI. Mechanical Properties at Surfaces Influence of F-based etching on surface adhesion Zhang, Park, Huang, and Somorjai, Appl. Phys. Lett (2008)

  9. EEW508 VI. Mechanical Properties at Surfaces Real contact area between the AFM tip and the surface There are four models within the framework of the elastic continuum contact mechanics. The simplest model is Hertz model. The contact area A is given by The model system for the elastic continuum contact theories. The AFM tip is modeled by a small sphere with a radius R. After applying a load F, the sphere and the surface deform elastically, and the contact area increases. Where K is the reduced Young’s modulus. Because the tip and the surface can be elastically deformed, Where Et, Es , t, s are Young’s moduli and the Poisson ratios of the flat surface and the tip

  10. EEW508 Friction at the single asperity Mechanical Properties at Surfaces JKR (Johnson-Kendall-Roberts) model JRK theory neglects long range forces outside the contact area and considers only the short range force inside the contact region. Where W is the work of adhesion, which can be calculated as Fad can be obtained from the force-distance curve. JKR is applicable to the contact between the tips with a large radius and highly adhesive and soft materials.

  11. EEW508 Mechanical Properties at Surfaces DMT (Derjaguin-Muller-Toporov) model JRK theory neglects the adhesion force and the long range adhesion force outside the contact area is considered. Where W is the work of adhesion, which can be calculated as Fad can be obtained from the force-distance curve. DMT is suitable for the contact between tips with a small radius and less adhesive surface. Intermediate model – Maugis theory Deals with the intermediate regime between DMT and JKR model.

  12. EEW508 Mechanical Properties at Surfaces Which model is more suitable? DMT or JKR model? An empirical nondimensional parameter (Tabor parameter, ) Where W is the work of adhesion, and z0 is the equilibrium spacing of two surfaces (roughly an atomic distance) If  >5, JKR model is a good approximation, while DMT is more appropriate when  is less than 0.1

  43. Conclusion Slippery atoms • The fundamental question of whether or not the desirable properties of quasicrystals are a direct result of quasiperiodic atomic structure were investigated with a combined atomic force microscopy / scanning tunneling microscopy. • Strong friction anisotropy were observed when sliding along the two directions: high friction along the periodic direction, and low friction along aperiodic direction. • This feature can be associated with • (i) Electronic contribution due to anisotropic electrical conductance • (ii) phononic contribution • 4. The unique friction properties of decagonal Al-Ni-Co quasicrystals are an intrinsic property of their peculiar crystallographic structure.
