MICROPROBE FOR DETERMINATION OF ADHESION FORCE AND THE SPECIFIC SURFACE ENERGY BY AFM

Abstract

Results of usage of atomic force microscopy method operated in force spectroscopy mode for determining of the values of the adhesion forces between the probe tip (made from titanium powder particle with diameter of 67m) and Au, Ti, Al, TiN vacuum-deposited coatings, as well as bulk Al, Ti, stainless steel ones.
