abstract = {Van der Waals (vdW) forces act ubiquitously in condensed
matter. Despite being weak on an atomic level, they
substantially influence molecular and biological systems due
to their long range and system-size scaling. The difficulty
to isolate and measure vdW forces on a single-molecule level
causes our present understanding to be strongly theory
based. Here we show measurements of the attractive potential
between differently sized organic molecules and a metal
surface using an atomic force microscope. Our choice of
molecules and the large molecule-surface separation cause
this attraction to be purely of vdW type. The experiment
allows testing the asymptotic vdW force law and its validity
range. We find a superlinear growth of the vdW attraction
with molecular size, originating from the increased
deconfinement of electrons in the molecules. Because such
non-additive vdW contributions are not accounted for in most
first-principles or empirical calculations, we suggest
further development in that direction.},
