• modification [4], e.g., as etch resist for microfabrication [5][6], as support for molecular systems like metal-organic frameworks or biomolecules [7], or for the tuning of electronic properties of metal surfaces [8][9][10][11][12], to mention just a few. One reason for the popularity of SAMs is their ease of

• , magnetically coated silicon cantilevers are used. These cantilevers are produced in large quantity by microfabrication techniques. Typical probe features are spring constants on the order of 10 Nm−1 and resonance frequencies of about 100 kHz. Another type of force sensor is made from a quartz (SiO2) tuning
