Abstract
A novel method to analyze and to distinguish the non-dissipative compo nent from the dissipative frictional component of the lateral force in a Scanning Force and Friction Microscope (SFFM) is worked out and app lied to images acquired on various samples. We have determined the twi sting spring constants of the cantilevers by computer statical analysi s, since they are essential for the quantitative determination but are not provided by the manufacturer. Quantitative results for the mu(D) dynamical friction coefficient images are reported. Comparison with th e forward-backward lateral force image subtraction model is made.
