Although friction force measurements using one sensor to detect both the normal deflection and rotation angle of a scanning probe are convenient and popular, the critical issues regarding the calibration of the instruments have not been fully studied. A Lateral Force Microscope (LFM), modified from the Point Contact Microscope (PCM), is used to simultaneously measure the surface topography and friction force. An optical head is used to measure the normal bending deflection and rotation angle of the cantilever that carries the diamond tip. Emphasis is put on the development of reliable calibration procedures for obtaining the normal deflection and rotation sensitivities of the optical head as well as the spring constants in the bending and torsion modes. The friction loop, which is essential for friction measurements, is investigated in detail. The LFM is used to measure a two-phase composite to show its ability to distinguish different materials on a surface. Wear tests on a single-crystal silicon <100> surface show different friction coefficient regimes, depending on the applied load. For small loads, there is no wear and the friction coefficient is constant. For larger loads, the friction coefficient and wear depth increase with normal load.

ABSTRACTNovel designs of the force sensing components for an atomic force microscope (AFM) and lateral force microscope (LFM) have been proposed in this study. By using PZT thin layers, a smart structure that can perform force sensing and feedback actuation at the same time is applied to the AFM. Clear images can be derived by an AFM equipped with this smart structure. A structure of two parallel PZT bars integrated on a SiO2 free standing cantilever has shown potential for operation in an LFM, because a difference in the piezoelectric charge outputs from these two beams will be induced by frictional force when the cantilever end quasi-staticly contacts with the sample surface in dynamic scanning across the surface.

Ultra High Molecular Weight

A comparison of two lateral force calibration techniques for friction force microscopy is presented. We used methods developed by Ogletree et.al. [1] and Ruan and Bhushan [2] to measure the friction response between the atomic force microscope (AFM) probe and a silicon sample and to obtain lateral force calibration factors. The factors were used to characterize the friction behavior and interfacial shear strength of a silicon nitride (Si3N4) probe-ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) interface.

ABSTRACTAn Ultrasonic Force Microscope capable of imaging elastic modulus variations with nanometer resolution has been developed by modifying a Scanning Probe Microscope. Images of ultrasonic properties have been simultaneously obtained with the topography images. The technique has been utilized to characterize nanoscale copper droplets and grains deposited on a quartz substrate by ionized cluster beam deposition. Images of the same region obtained with atomic force microscope, lateral force microscope, and ultrasonic force microscope are compared. The origin of image contrast in ultrasonic force microscopy and its utilization for quantitative elastic property measurement of nanometer particles are discussed.
