Measurement theory of a density profile of colloid particles on a flat surface: Conversion of force acting on a colloidal probe into pressure on its surface element
arXiv:1505.04360
Abstract
Recently, we proposed a method that converts the force between two-large colloids into the pressure on the surface element (FPSE conversion) in a system of a colloidal solution. Using it, the density distribution of the small colloids around the large colloid is calculated. In a similar manner, in this letter, we propose a transform theory for colloidal probe atomic force microscopy (colloidal probe AFM), which transforms the force acting on the colloidal probe into the density distribution of the small colloids on a flat surface. If measured condition is proper one, in our view, it is possible for the transform theory to be applied for liquid AFM and obtain the liquid structure. The transform theory we derived is briefly explained in this letter.
