What Does FFM Stand For?
FFM stands for Friction Force Microscopy
FFM, or Friction Force Microscopy, is a specialized scanning probe technique that measures the lateral forces arising from friction between a sharp probe and a surface at the nanoscale. This method provides detailed insights into the mechanical properties and surface characteristics of materials, enabling researchers to investigate phenomena such as wear, lubrication, and adhesion at atomic and molecular levels. FFM is widely employed in fields such as materials science, nanotechnology, and semiconductor research, contributing to advancements in both basic science and applied technologies.
