Abstract

Abstract—Nanotribological tests via atomic force microscopy were optimized by recording the lateral interaction forces between the probe tip and the sample surface in the contact mode. In the case of thin film metal materials, the technique enabled us to determine independently the sliding force and the static friction force, which reduced the measurement error of tribological characteristics at the nanoscale by 3—5 times.
