Uncertainties in forces extracted from non-contact atomic force microscopy measurements by fitting of long-range background forces

In principle, non-contact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) now readily allows for the measurement of forces with sub-nanonewton precision on the atomic scale. In practice, however, the extraction of the often desired ‘short-range’ force from the experimental observable (frequency shift) is often far...
