The effect of humidity on probe-sample interactions in near-field scanning optical microscopy

The shear force damping between a tapered near-field probe and a well-cleaned glass sample depends on the humidity. A slow decay region, up to few hundred Å, appeared in the onset of the damping curves as the humidity increased. This humidity-dependent interaction force is of viscous type and ∼0.1 n...
