abstract = {We use atomic force microscopy to measure the
distance-dependent solvation forces and the dissipation
across liquid films of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (OMCTS)
confined between a silicon tip and a highly oriented
pyrolytic graphite substrate without active excitation of
the cantilever. By analyzing the thermal bending
fluctuations, we minimize possible nonlinearities of the
tip-substrate interaction due to finite excitation
amplitudes because these fluctuations are smaller than the
typical 1 Å, which is much smaller than the characteristic
interaction length. Moreover, we avoid the need to determine
the phase lag between cantilever excitation and response,
which suffers from complications due to hydrodynamic
coupling between cantilever and fluid. Consistent results,
and especially high-quality dissipation data, are obtained
by analyzing the power spectrum and the time autocorrelation
of the force fluctuations. We validate our approach by
determining the bulk viscosity of OMCTS using tips with a
radius of approximately 1 μm at tip-substrate separations
>5 nm. For sharp tips we consistently find an exponentially
decaying oscillatory tip-substrate interaction stiffness as
well as a clearly nonmonotonic variation of the dissipation
for tip-substrate distances up to 8 and 6 nm, respectively.
Both observations are in line with the results of recent
simulations which relate them to distance-dependent
transitions of the molecular structure in the liquid.},
