Probing three-dimensional surface force fields with atomic resolution: Measurement strategies, limitations, and artifact reduction

Noncontact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) is being increasingly used to measure the interaction force between an atomically sharp probe tip and surfaces of interest, as a function of the three spatial dimensions, with picometer and piconewton accuracy. Since the results of such measurements may be...
