Nanotribology of Diamond Films Studied by Atomic Force Microscopy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 February 2011
Abstract
An atomic force microscope, operated in ultra-high vacuum has been employed to study the tribological properties of diamond films under small loads (< 10−6 N) on a nanometer scale. The incidence of intermittent motion, “stick-slip”, while sliding a diamond tip across the diamond film, is detected under certain experimental conditions and is discussed with respect to the difference between static and kinetic friction, sample topography and a varying sample condition.
