This is in contrast to an immobile overlayer of iodobenzene, where oscillation of the QCM does not affect image quality. This observation is attributed to a "windshield wiper effect", where at MHz frequencies the tip motion maintains a region of the surface where the absorbate concentration is reduced, which leads to a clearer image. A straightforward model is presented that supports this conclusion and that provides guidelines for effective lubrication of contacts operating at MHz frequencies.}, number={23}, journal={LANGMUIR}, author={Abdelmaksoud, M. and Lee, S.

The data reveal trace levels of interfacial slippage, potentially in conjunction with viscoelastic effects, for reaction films characterized by very low macroscopic friction coefficients. In contrast, rigidly attached TCP reaction films are observed in systems characterized by high macroscopic friction coefficients.}, number={17}, journal={PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS}, author={Abdelmaksoud, M and Bender, JW and Krim, J}, year={2004}, month={Apr} }

Employing QCM as the sole technique, we report measurements on vapor phase lubricants for "real world" applications, and rare-gas systems that are of more fundamental interest. We also report on QCM measurements that have been recorded in conjunction with a Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM). The QCM-STM apparatus allows unique and detailed investigations of a simple nanomechanical system formed by a contacting tip and surface. Both STM images of the contact and the response of the QCM are monitored throughout the course of the measurements, which are performed at realistic sliding speeds of over 1 m/s.}, booktitle={Dynamics and friction of submicrometer confining systems}, publisher={Washington, D.C.: American Chemical Society}, author={Krim, J. and Abdelmaksoud, M. and Borovsky, B. and Winder, S.
