Effects topography

Figure Bl.19.24. Friction loop and topography on a heterogeneous stepped surface. Terraces (2) and (3) are composed of different materials. In regions (1) and (4), the cantilever sticks to the sample surface because of static friction The sliding friction is tj on part (2) and on part 3. In a torsional force image, the contrast difference is caused by the relative sliding friction, Morphological effects may be...

The topography of a conical intersection affects the propensity for a nonadiabatic transition. Here, we focus on the essential linear tenns. Higher order effects are described in [10]. The local topography can be detennined from Eq. (13). For T] = 3, Eq. (13) becomes, in orthgonal intersection adapted coordinates...

The important beneficial effects that substrate roughness can bring were firmly established in the late sixties and early seventies, principally as a result of work in two areas. The first was associated with the electroless deposition of metals onto plastics such as ABS and polypropylene. In the process the plastics must be etched in a way which produces pits on a micrometre scale. Such a topography had been shown to be a necessary, but not sufficient condition for adequate adhesion [40]. 

Surface topography can affect the local wind patterns one example is the onshore and offshore breeze, and another example is the heat island over large urban areas. Another manmade effect is the generation of mechanical turbulence caused by the nonuniform height of buildings in a city. We will discuss this effect in more depth later on.

To minimize effects of friction and other lateral forces in the topography measurements in contact-modes AFMs and to measure topography of the soft surface, AFMs can be operated in so-called tapping mode [53,54]. It is also referred to as intermittent-contact or the more general term Dynamic Force Mode" (DFM). A stiff cantilever is oscillated closer to the sample than in the noncontact mode. Part of the oscillation extends into the repulsive regime, so the tip intermittently touches or taps" the surface. Very stiff cantilevers are typically used, as tips can get stuck" in the water contamination layer. The advantage of tapping the surface is improved lateral resolution on soft samples. Lateral forces...
