| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The friction force (FF) between organic molecules on a silicon cantilever and a sapphire single-crystal substrate was controlled by laser irradiation in a vacuum. The molecules on the tip surface of the cantilever absorbed the laser light and were photoexcited. It was found that the interaction between the molecules and the sapphire in the vacuum was changed rapidly by the irradiation, thus increasing the FF. After turning off the laser, the FF returned to its original value. The photo response speed of the FF under the vacuum was faster than that under water condition. It was succeeded that the control of the FF by the light under the vacuum condition for the first time in the world.
