AFM Force-Distance-Curves on Different Lubricants — •Sebastian Friedrich and Brunero Cappella — Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM), Unter den Eichen 87, D-12205 Berlin

AFM force-distance-curves have been recorded on thin films of nine different lubricant liquids. Those lubricants wet the AFM-tip, which causes a capillary force. This force depends on the tip shape, as well as on liquid properties like surface tension, contact angle, and viscosity. Those liquid properties have been measured independently with other methods, so their influence on the shape of the force-distance-curves can be discussed. This study provides a tool for the characterization of thin lubricant films and contributes to the understanding of tribology on the nanoscale.
