The use of nano particles in todays applications and the understanding of their characteristics is of utmost scientific and technological interest. One of these characteristics that needs further attention is the interaction force of nano particles with different substrates. We found that the interaction force of silica particles on silicon substrate shows aging phenomena. The force increases with time and parameters like humidity and temperature influence it as well. The aim of this work is to extend the measurements to the interaction force of various material combinations, such as aluminium particles on aluminium substrates, as well as combinations of aluminium with silica particles and silicon substrates. Further it is investigated if the roughness of the substrate's surface has an influence on the interaction force of the particle to this surface. Measuring this force is done by lateral atomic force microscopy (AFM). Thereby the particle is moved in contact mode AFM, where the torsion of the cantilever gives the force excerted on the particle. The trajectory of the particle is then recorded by imaging the sample in tapping mode AFM before and after the displacement.
