Measurement of the van der Waals force at the CNT/Au interface before EBID.
| Tests | Contact length (μm) | Spring constant (N/m) | Deformation (μm) | Van der Waals force per unit contact length (nN/μm) |
| 1 | 0.18 | 0.02 | 1.88 | 208.9 | 2 | 0.29 | 0.02 | 3.04 | 209.7 | 3 | 0.49 | 0.02 | 5.45 | 222.4 | 4 | 1.08 | 0.09 | 2.41 | 200.8 |
