Capillary adhesion and friction : an approach with the AFM Circular Mode
The aim of this thesis is concerned with the influence of sliding velocity on capillary adhesion at the nanometer scale. In ambient conditions, capillary condensation which is a thermally activated process, allows the formation of a capillary meniscus at the interface between an atomic force microsc...
