abstract = {In the present work we report ab initio pseudopotential
calculations based on density functional theory to
investigate the noncontact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM)
image contrast on the InAs(110) (1 x 1) surface. The
foremost tip structure is modeled by a SiH3 tip. The effect
of the tip-induced surface relaxations on the calculated
forces was investigated for the tip above As and In atoms.
The force curves corresponding to these vertical scans show
an hysteretic behavior and this effect causes an energy
dissipation of 0.3 (tip on top of As) and 1.8 eV (tip on top
of In), respectively. The presence of this hysteresis
suggests that stable NC-AFM images can be obtained for
tip-sample distances before this instability. In this stable
regime the force curves obtained for perturbed (due to
tip-sample interaction) and unperturbed InAs(110) surface
exhibit the same qualitative behavior. From the calculated
forces for the unperturbed InAs(110) surface on a large
number of grid points in real space we obtained maps of
constant frequency shifts. The influence of long-range van
der Waals forces on the simulated AFM images due to the
macroscopic part of the tip was taken into account by an
empirical model. The overall structure and the corrugation
of the simulated NC-AFM images are in good agreement with
the experimental results and allow us to explain the
experimentally observed features of the image contrast
mechanism on the basis of the calculated short-range
chemical tip-sample interaction forces.},
