Effects of elastic and inelastic interactions on phase contrast images in tapping-mode scanning force microscopy
Open accessAbstract
The dependence of phase contrast in tapping-mode scanning force microscopy on elastic and inelastic interactions is studied. The cantilever–tip ensemble is simulated as a driven, damped harmonic oscillator. It is found that for tip–sample elastic interactions, phase contrast is independent of the sample’s elastic properties. However, phase contrast associated with elastic modulus variations are observed if viscous damping or adhesion energy hysteresis is considered during tip–sample contact. The phase shift versus tip–sample equilibrium separation was measured for a compliant material (polypropylene) and for a stiff sample (mica). The agreement obtained between theory and experiment supports the conclusions derived from the model. These results emphasize the relevance of energy dissipating processes at the nanometer scale to explain phase contrast imaging in tapping-mode force microscopy.

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.
