The recently developed Photo-induced Force Microscopy (PiFM) offers high spatial resolution in chemical imaging of polymer films and biomaterials, when combined with mid-infrared illumination. Upon absorption, photo-thermal expansion of the material causes a modulation of the Van der Waals (vdW) force acting between the tip and the sample. This work theoretically investigates the non-linear impact of material properties and surface shape on the tip-sample interaction, heat generation from the presence of a photo-induced electric field, the resulting thermal expansion under different illumination conditions and the change in cantilever oscillation at different detection modes. We compare our results to mid-infrared PiFM images obtained from a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanosphere with a diameter of 100 nm.
