In-situ imaging of nanoscale ethanol film formation on mica surface under saturated vapor condition using VSPFM technique
vibrating scanning polarization force microscopy(VSPFM) technique is used to study the adsorption of ethanol gas molecules on mica surface at room temperature
and the relationship between bias and imaging quality.Experiment results showed that the best images can be acquired when the tip is biased at AC 5 V.VSPFM is a useful technique to investigate air-solid interaction.Using this technique
we found that ethanol gas molecule did not adsorb quickly on mica surface
and the ethanol adsorption behavior could not be illustrated by Langmuir adsorption model
as it took hours for the ethanol vapor molecules to be adsorbed on mica to form a nanoscale film from nucleated dots or islands.
