Abstract
Dynamic numerical simulations were performed for a pyranose ring structure molecule attached to an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) using a standard semiempirical potential energy surface model. The fundamental static force-extension behavior was first determined using a slow pulling base excitation at the AFM probe. The static force-extension curve displays a stiffness nonlinearity, both softening and hardening, that depends upon level of the pulling force. For the dynamic analysis, a single harmonic base excitation is applied to the AFM probe. A typical evolution process from periodic to aperiodic or chaotic motion obtained by varying the excitation frequency and amplitude is discussed. A strong chaotic response motion was generated for certain system parameters. The numerical analysis shows this chaotic response arises from a molecular structure conformational change.
