Accurate, explicit formulae for higher harmonic force spectroscopy by frequency modulation-AFM

The nonlinear interaction between an AFM tip and a sample gives rise to oscillations of the cantilever at integral multiples (harmonics) of the fundamental resonance frequency. The higher order harmonics have long been recognized to hold invaluable information on short range interactions but their u...
