摘要
We introduce a new method which allows the precise determination of the lip-sample interaction potentials with an atomic force microscope and avoids the so-called "jump to contact" of the tip to the sample surface. The method is based on the measurement of the resonance frequency as a function of the resonance amplitude of the oscillated cantilever. The application of this method to model potentials and to experimental data, obtained for a graphite sample and a silicon lip in ultrahigh vacuum, demonstrates its reliability.
