Abstract

A new UHV atomic force microscope for the study of micromechanical properties is described. A capacitance technique is used, which enables simultaneous measurement of forces perpendicular and parallel to the surface (i.e., load and friction), and has low noise down to frequencies below 0.1 Hz. Preliminary results for Ir- and W-tips sliding on graphite and silicon, respectively, demonstrate the capabilities of this new instrument.
