Nanometer-scale friction measurements on a Pt(111) surface and a Pt-based metallic glass surface have been performed in ultra high vacuum and at room temperature by using oxidized silicon and diamond coated silicon AFM-tips as counter bodies. Neither the load dependence of friction nor its velocity dependence are affected by the structural difference between the Pt(111) and the Pt-based metallic glass surfaces. However, we find that the friction forces greatly depend on the chemistry of the counter body, i.e. SiO2 or diamond. For the SiO2/Pt(111) and SiO2/Pt-based MG friction couples we measure a friction coefficient COF = 0.05. In these cases the friction is determined by the adhesive contact between the involved surfaces that gives rise to intermittent sliding. For the diamond/Pt(111) and diamond/Pt-based metallic glass friction couples we measure COF = 0.002. There the relative motion between tip and sample surface did not exhibit any stick slip. The results are discussed on the basis of Pt-silicides formation and solid solution alloying between tip and sample surfaces.
