The static friction force of Ag NPs on a Si wafer as a function of the radius of the NPs. The static friction force values experimentally measured by QTF (dots) and calculated from the diameters of visible traces left after the displacement of the particles (circles). The theoretical curves of friction as functions of the radius of the NPs according to the DMT-M model (dashed curve) and frozen droplet model (solid curve).
