Recent results obtained with friction force microscopy in ultrahigh vacuum studying nanometer-sized single asperity contacts will be presented. Contact area, determined by measuring the lateral stiffness of the contact using a new technique, is compared with friction measured as a function of applied load. From this, the interfacial shear strength of the contact is determined. Furthermore, the applicability of continuum contact mechanics models is tested at the nanometer scale.
