Atomic force microscopy of liquid-covered surfaces: Atomic resolution images
Abstract
Images of graphite surfaces that are covered with oil reveal the hexagonal rings of carbon atoms. Images of a sodium chloride surface, protected from moisture by oil, exhibit a monoatomic step. Together, these images demonstrate the potential of atomic force microscopy (AFM) for studying both conducting and nonconducting surfaces, even surfaces covered with liquids. Our AFM uses a cross of double wires with an attached diamond stylus as a force sensor. The force constant is ≊40 N/m. The resonant frequency is ≊3 kHz. The lateral and vertical resolutions are 0.15 nm and 5 pm.

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.
