In this paper, a developed three-dimensional model for AFM-based nanomachining is applied to study mechanical scratching at the nanoscale. The correlation between the scratching conditions, including applied force, scratching depth, and distant between any two scratched grooves, and the defect mechanism in the substrate/workpiece is investigated. The simulations of nanoscratching process are performed on different crystal orientations of single-crystal gold substrate, Au(100), Au(110), and Au(111). The material deformation and groove geometry are extracted from the final locations of atoms, which are displaced by the rigid indenter. The simulation also allows for the prediction of normal and friction forces at the interface between the indenter and substrate. An AFM is used to conduct actual scratching at the nanoscale, and provide measurements to which the MD simulation predictions are compared. The predicted forces obtained from MD simulation compares qualitatively with the experimental results.

AbstractThe infrared spectrum of the O–H–O fragment of malonaldehyde is studied using a four-dimensional model. This comprises the OH stretching and the two OH bending vibrations as well an O–O ring deformation mode under the assumption of overall Cs symmetry. The full anharmonic potential energy and dipole moment surfaces are calculated using density functional theory and the respective vibrational eigenvalue problem is solved by an iterative Lanczos method. Fundamental and combination transitions are discussed for the normal species and the symmetrically deuterated isotopomer. Special emphasis is paid to the OH/OD stretching region which reveals the signatures of strong mode mixing what renders a simple assignment in terms of fundamental transitions difficult. In addition results for hot transitions are presented which show a rather different OH/OD band due to the topology of the potential energy surface. The influence of H atom tunneling on the spectrum is briefly addressed employing an alternative three-dimensional model which takes into account the in-plane H atom motion as well as the O–O distance.
