Abstract
Force spectroscopy of the MAC Mode atomic mode microscope (AFM) has been used to probe ordered liquid molecules of OMCTS and mesitylene at the graphite surface with sub-angstrom vertical distance resolution. The interaction force obtained from the spectra showed details well under 1 pN, more than one order of magnitude better than what a conventional contact mode AFM can resolve. Elastic compliance at the center of each layer was found to exponentially decrease versus the number of layers.
