| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
With the development of micro fabrication technology, lubrication technology between mechanical elements with a small sliding gap is required. Aiming at establishing a method for measuring the frictional force and load with a precise definition of the gap, which is essential to elucidate the lubrication phenomena at small gaps, we tried to establish friction force microscopy (FFM) at a constant gap rather than usual FFM at a constant load. Based on the novel idea of integrating a driving mechanism to the probe, we proposed FFM with a highly accurate gap control and successfully demonstrated its feasibility.
