What are the Methods to Measure Cohesion at the Nanoscale?
Measuring cohesive forces at the nanoscale is challenging but essential. Techniques like atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) are frequently used. These methods can quantify the forces between individual molecules or particles, providing insights into the cohesive properties of the material. Additionally, molecular dynamics simulations offer computational approaches to predict and analyze these forces.
