Thermally activated nanowear modes of a polymer surface induced by a heated tip

We report on nanoscale wear induced by atomic force microscopy using a heated cantilever/tip on a 20 nm thick film of polystyrene. Wear modes dependent on tip temperature characteristics were identified. Below the glass transition temperature of the polymer, the formation of quasi one-dimensional su...
