Nanometer-scale studies of friction, dissipation, and plasticity
Materials exhibit dramatically different mechanical properties when probed and confined on nanometer length scales. These size effects can arise from both the nature of individual contacts and the reduced dimensions of the interacting bodies. In this thesis, multimode atomic force microscopy techniq...
