55. As the sweeping process proceeds the tip will pick up Al debris and cause the tip radius to increase, thereby lowering the spatial resolution (initial radius curvature < 10 nm). Consequently, the lattice image degradation with coverage could be due in part to a tip effect. This effect was eliminated as a major contribution by observing that the same tip after sweeping was able to detect the (√3 x √3) lattice pattern on a new bare SAM (see Supporting Information).
56. Because of the resolution of image (scan area, 1000 x 1000 nm; 256 sampling points per line), the geometry of the cp-AFM tip (radius ∼ 10-30 nm) and the torsional bending of the cantilever with undulation of surface topography, the diameter of current spots taken directly from the image are not accurate. Further, given the tip-surface contact area diameter of up to a few tens of nanometers, the AFM probe is not likely to be able to distinguish single from adjacent, closely spaced multiple filaments.
