How does a tip tap?
Open accessAbstract
There is a demand for good theoretical understanding of the response of an atomic force microscope cantilever to the extremely nonlinear impacts received while tapping a sample. A model and numerical simulations are presented in this paper which provide a very pleasing comparison with experimental results. The dependence of the cantilever amplitude and phase upon the sample stiffness, adhesion and damping are investigated using these simulations, and it is found that `topographic' tapping images are not independent of sample properties, nor will it be trivial to measure materials' properties from the tapping data. The simulation can be applied to other probe microscope configurations as well.

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.
