TLDR
In this article, an optical interference method is described for measuring thickness and refractive index profiles of thin films trapped between two transparent deformable sheets, which is most suitable for studying very thin films whose thicknesses range from zero to a few thousand angstroms (thickness resolution ∼1 A).About:

Scratching the Surface: Fundamental Investigations of Tribology with Atomic Force Microscopy.
TL;DR: The goal of this paper is to demonstrate that AFM is capable of producing atomic-scale knowledge, and to focus upon some of the contributions of the AFM to nanotribology.

Direct measurement of structural forces between two surfaces in a nonpolar liquid
TL;DR: The force as a function of separation between two molecularly smooth surfaces immersed in the liquid octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (OMCTS) whose molecules are quasispherical of diameter ∼ 1.0 nm was measured in this article.

Direct measurements of forces between phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine bilayers in aqueous electrolyte solutions
TL;DR: Direct measurements of the full interbilayer force laws between bilayers of various phosphatidylcholines andosphatidylethanolamine in aqueous solutions concluded that bilayer fusion is not simply related to the interbilayers force law.

Confinement effects on freezing and melting
TL;DR: A review of experimental work on freezing and melting in confinement is presented in this paper, where a range of systems, from metal oxide gels to porous glasses to novel nanoporous materials, are discussed.

Measurement of the hydrophobic interaction between two hydrophobic surfaces in aqueous electrolyte solutions
TL;DR: In this paper, the attractive force-law between two hydrophobic surfaces in aqueous solutions has been derived from total force measurements on monolayer coated mica surfaces.

An introduction to interferometry
TL;DR: In this paper, a beam of light can be modeled as a wave of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, and two or more beams of light meet in space, these fields add according to the principle of superposition.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Fizeau fringes formed by light passing through the solid and through the liquid only, revealing small changes in refractive index and then heating or cooling the liquid to enable the match to be made exactly.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that multiple reflections between the surfaces of the inserted sheet and the mirrors necessarily produce the types of distortion observed, and that the published photographs can be analyzed quantitatively.
