Temperature dependence of energy dissipation on NaCl(001) in non-contact atomic force microscopy.
The dissipative tip-sample interactions are measured by dynamic force spectroscopy for silicon tips on NaCl(001) in ultrahigh vacuum in the attractive and repulsive force regimes. Force and dissipation versus distance curves were obtained for different sample temperatures ranging from 35 to 285 K. Detailed comparison in different distance regimes shows that neither the force nor energy dissipation exhibits a systematic variation with sample temperature.
