Quantitative Measurement of adhesion energy between nanolayers and substrates using a nanowire-supported bridging method
Abstract
The measurement of adhesion energy between nanolayers and substrates holds significant importance for the design, fabrication, and stability assessment of micro-/nanoscale devices relying on nanolayers. In this study, we propose a nanowire-supported bridging method based on an optical microscope-based nanomanipulation technique to quantitatively measure the adhesion energy between nanolayers and substrates. Using this innovative approach, we conducted adhesion energy measurements between mica nanolayers and Si substrates, revealing a value of approximately 110 J/m2. Additionally, we discuss the applicable conditions of this new method. The proposed technique allows measurements in atmospheric conditions and is, in principle, applicable to all types of nanolayers and substrates. Consequently, it holds promise as a universal method for assessing adhesion energy between nanolayers and substrates, considering environmental factors such as atmosphere and roughness.
