Abstract
We investigated the correlation between friction and thickness of vanadium-pentoxide nanowires (V2O5 NWs) by using friction/atomic force microscopy (FFM/AFM). We observed that the friction signal generally increased with thickness in the FFM/AFM image of the V2O5 NWs. We constructed a two-dimensional (2D) correlation distribution of the frictional force and the thickness of the V2O5 NWs and found that they are strongly correlated; i.e., thicker NWs had higher friction. We also generated a histogram for the correlation factors obtained from each distribution and found that the most probable factor is ~0.45. Furthermore, we found that the adhesion force between the tip and the V2O5 NWs was about −3 nN, and that the friction increased with increasing applied load for different thicknesses of V2O5 NWs. Our results provide an understanding of tribological and nanomechanical studies of various one-dimensional NWs for future fundamental research.
