Figure 4. Tip-nanobubble interaction for the RFESP cantilevers.

Figure 4

(a) A force distance curve obtained on a nanobubble. Stages of tip-nanobubble interaction are labeled in the same sequence as in Fig. 3 (b) Reference signal. Five superimposed force-distance curves for the sample substrate shown along with average signal. (c) Deflection signal of tip-nanobubble interaction obtained by subtracting the reference signal from experimental data. One can clearly see two slopes in extension and retraction motion, which correspond to the pyramid tip-nanobubble interaction region.
