The influence of oxide and adsorbates on the nanomechanical response of silicon surfaces
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of surface oxides and relative humidity on the nanomechanical response of hydrophobic and hydrophilic Si surfaces was investigated in the pre-contact, apparent contact, elastic contact, and elasto-plastic contact.

Surface patterning by atomically-controlled chemical forces : molecular dynamics simulations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use atomistic simulations to explore the feasibility of a selective abstraction of hydrogen from a diamond surface using a tip with a chemisorbed ethynyl radical.

Magnetic field sensing with magnetostrictive materials using a tunneling tip detector
TL;DR: In this article, a feasibility study for the design and construction of a magnetic field sensor using a tunneling tip as the detection system was conducted using a scanning tunneling microscope to measure dimensional changes of a short, thin amorphous Fe-BSi magnetostrictive ribbon exposed to d.c. magnetic fields.

Characterization of polymeric thin films by low-damage secondary ion mass spectrometry
TL;DR: In this article, a static or low-damage secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is used to characterize thin films of a series of poly(alkyl)-methacrylates consisting of the methyl, ethyl, isobutyl, n-butyl and lauryl substituents.
