We have investigated the effect of adhesion force on the frictional properties of a nanostripe structure composed of a combination of gold (Au) and iron (Fe). Relative humidity (RH) was controlled from 10%-80% during the friction experiment by atomic force microscopy. Au sputtered and Fe sputtered o...
