Influence of AFM Tip Temperature on THF Hydrate Stability: Theoretical Model and Numerical Simulation

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) indentation is widely used to determine mechanical parameters of various materials. However, AFM tip may lead to phase transition of the cold sample in the region of contact area. It is a long-standing challenge that low-temperature phase-change materials (e.g., ice and...
