TLDR
In this article, it was shown that despite the van der Waals' forces being capable of increasing the elastic contact area between the ball and the plane, the force that is required to overcome the molecular forces arising when the contact is broken does not increase thereby.

Electrical testing of gold nanostructures by conducting atomic force microscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for reliable electrical testing of nanoscale wire arrays using conducting probe atomic force microscopy (AFM) in ambient conditions was devised, based on the formation of highly reproducible electrical contacts between the conducting tip and the sample.

Phase State Effect on Adhesion Behavior of Self-Assembled Monolayers

TL;DR: The occurrence of maximum hysteresis at faster rates proves that monolayer chain mobility increases with structural disorder, resulting in increased mechanical deformation, and has greater sensitivity toward the unloading rate for disordered monolayers.

The London—van der Waals attraction between spherical particles

TL;DR: In this article, the London-v.d. interaction between two spherical particles is computed as a function of the diameters and the distance separating them, and a table is calculated which enables numerical application of the formulae derived.

LXXIX. The cohesive force between solid surfaces and the surface energy of solids

TL;DR: In this paper, an expression for the cohesive force between two unequal spheres in geometrical contact is derived and the surface energy of the solid may be computed from the constant in this expression.
