When a micro cantilever with a nanoscale tip is manipulated on a substrate with atomic roughness, e.g., pushing an atomic-scale sample or etching the surface of the substrate to draw desired patterns, the periodical lateral frictional forces with stochastic fluctuations will induce stick-slip motion of the cantilever tip, which may greatly influence the precision of the nano manipulation. To reduce...
