Tribological Properties of LB films Measured under Zero Applied Load

We examined the pull-off and friction forces between an atomic force microscope (AFM) probe and submicron-scale asperities covered with Langmuir Blodgett (LB) films. First, we used a focused ion beam to produce several kinds of asperity arrays on two silicon substrates. The average radius of curvatu...
