Indications of chemical bond contrast in AFM images of a hydrogen-terminated silicon surface

Whether and under what circumstances chemical bonds could be imaged via force microscopy is a controversial topic. Here authors develop a particular combination of model surface, imaging procedures and simulation approach and discuss possible indications of chemical contrast in imaging data they obt...
