Potential dependence of the friction force between an atomically-flat terrace of Au(100) single crystal and a tip attached to a silicon nitride cantilever of electrochemical atomic force microscope (EC-AFM) have been investigated qualitatively in 0.05 M H2SO4 aqueous solution. It is found that the friction force gains when the potential increases in the potential range between −400 mV and 400 mV vs Hg/Hg2SO4 electrode.

We present a short overview of the recent efforts of our group in the design of high precision Casimir force setups. We first describe our Atomic Force Microscope based technique that allows one to simultaneously and continuously calibrate the instrument, compensate for a residual electrostatic potential, measure the Casimir force, and, in the presence of a fluid in the gap between the interacting surfaces, measure the hydrodynamic force. Then we briefly discuss a new force sensor that adapts well to Casimir force measurements in critical environments.
