Device for measuring the force and separation between two surfaces down to molecular separations
Abstract
We present an apparatus for measuring the force as a function of distance between surfaces at separations down to the order of molecular dimensions. The device is a simplified yet improved version of the surface force apparatus first developed by Israelachvili and Adams [J. Chem. Soc. Faraday Trans. 1, 74, 975 (1978)]. It gives the same measurement resolution and has the same possibilities of studying various phenomena in thin films such as friction, viscosity, adhesion, and phase transitions. It offers improved performance with regard to control of surface separation and increased versatility by virtue of variable chamber dimensions and geometry.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
