The nanomechanics of molecularly thin films studied by force spectroscopy AFM

Most materials break through the extension of their most prominent crack, as Griffith predicted over a century ago. Despite the fact that the extension of a crack occurs in the nanometre-sized area located at the crack tip end, we still know little about the crucial role that forces play at this sca...
