| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed a new apparatus which combines an AFM tip with a quartz crystal resonator to study the dynamical frictional force of a nanoscale contact, and measured this force acting on C60 films at a small normal load as a function of sliding distance. It was found that this force for a small distance below 0.2 nm is significantly larger than that of HOPG. This difference means that C60 molecules easily tilt and/or rotate when the AFM tip slides on a C60 film, and the dynamic frictional arises from the tilting and/or rotating motions. In addition, these motions cause a smooth sliding of the AFM tip for a large distance.
