Abstract
We perform a theoretical analysis of frictional-force microscopy(FFM) images of a cleaved graphite surface. The Tomlinson model with a single-atom tip is powerful for reproducing experimental FFM images. A mapping relation between the tip atom position and the cantilever basal position obtained by a stable equilibrium condition, gives a clear explanation of the physical meaning of FFM image patterns.
