Preparation of mica surfaces for enhanced resolution and cleanliness in the surface forces apparatus

We describe a simple technique for preparing arbitrarily thin mica substrates of unparalleled purity for use in the surface forces apparatus (SFA). Relatively thick mica samples (4–8 μm) are prepared in the conventional way, coated with a sputter deposited layer of silver, and attached (silver side...
