Nano/microtribology stick-slip number under an atomic force microscope and its characteristics
Tribology Letters, Vol. 15, No.4, November 2003 (2003),-0001,():
The atomic force microscope (AFM) has become a main instrument in observing nano/microtribological characteristics of sample surfaces. In this paper, we investigated the micro-scale adhesive contact between the AFM tip and the sample surface based on the Maugis-Dugdale contact model, and analyzed the energy conversion and dissipation process during the AFM scanning process. A dimensionless stick-slip number ŋ=8U1h/(kθR2s) was defined, which can serve as a characteristic index for the appearance of nano/microtribology stick-slip behavior. If the stick-slip number is less than one, i.e., ŋ<1; the AFM tip slides on the sample surface and no stick-slip behavior occurs in the AFM lateral force signal. When the stick-slip number equals one, i.e., 1; the tip jumps on the sample surface and the AFM lateral force signal begins to exhibit a stick-slip behavior but without energy dissipation. Only in the case of ŋ>1 does the stick-slip behavior appear in the AFM lateral force signal accompanied by an obvious energy dissipation. The defined stick-slip number demonstrates that the nano/microtribological stick-slip behavior is due to the adhesive hysteresis as well as the instability motion of the AFM tip during the scanning process. Finally, the influence on nano/microtribology stick-slip behavior of sample surface energy, surface topography, scanning velocity, spring constant of AFM cantilever probe, etc. are investigated theoretically and experimentally. Various experimental results of nano/microtribology stickslip behavior under AFM are successfully interpreted according to the stick-slip number.
