Abstract

Adsorption of charged biomolecules onto atomically flat mica substrates is facilitated by the deposition of metal ions. Despite successfully acting as preferential anchoring sites, the presence of ions on the mica surface also changes its physicochemical characteristics something that is rarely quantified from a nanoscale point of view. In this study the nanoscale physicochemical properties of nickel-functionalized Muscovite mica are investigated by reconstructing the conservative force profile between an atomic force microscopy (AFM) tip and the surface. Various nickel ion concentrations (i.e. 1.0 mM to 20.0 mM) along with different incubation times (30 seconds and 5 minutes) are directly analyzed. Details in the spatial and temporal variations in surface properties due to the ion mediated adsorption of water are presented in details and in light of the binding efficiency of the metal ions. This insight benefits our understanding in the behavior of ion distribution that plays a crucial role in biomolecule imaging using AFM.
