Micro interaction forces of lubricity surface of silicon and mica were studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM). From different scanning angle and bisection distance of the AFM, a new method of measuring micro static friction of lubricity surface materials was investigated. Results show that the micro coefficients of static and sliding friction of mica are less than the silicon, but the adhesive force is bigger. The mechanism of friction force of the two lubricity materials was discussed.

ABSTRACT The influences of the antibacterial magainin 2 and PGLa from the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) and the hemolytic bee venom melittin on Escherichia coli as the target cell were studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Nanometer-scale images of the effects of the peptides on this gram-negative bacterium's cell envelope were obtained in situ without the use of fixing agents. These high-resolution AFM images of the surviving and intact target cells before and after peptide treatment showed distinct changes in cell envelope morphology as a consequence of peptide action. Although all three peptides are lytic to E. coli, it is clear from this AFM study that each peptide causes distinct morphological changes in the outer membrane and in some cases the inner membrane, probably as a consequence of different mechanisms of action.

Viscoelastic characterization of materials at the micro- and nanoscales is commonly performed with the aid of force-distance relationships acquired using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The general strategy for existing methods is to fit the observed material behavior to specific viscoelastic models, such as generalized viscoelastic models or power-law rheology models, among others.  Here we propose a new method to invert and obtain the viscoelastic properties of a material through the use of the Z-transform, without using a model.  We present the rheological viscoelastic relations in their classical derivation and their Z-domain correspondence.  We illustrate the proposed technique on a model experiment involving a traditional ramp-shaped force-distance AFM curve, demonstrating good agreement between the viscoelastic characteristics extracted from the simulated experiment and the theoretical expectations. We also provide a path for calculating standard viscoelastic responses from the extracted material characteristics.  The new technique based on the Z-transform is complementary to previous model-based viscoelastic analyses and can be advantageous with respect to Fourier techniques due to its generality.  Additionally, it can handle the unbounded inputs traditionally used to acquire force-distance relationships in AFM, such as “ramp” functions, in which the cantilever position is displaced linearly with time for a finite period of time.
