The use of the atomic force microscope (AFM) as a tool to manipulate matter at the nanoscale has received a large amount of research interest in the last decade. Experimental and theoretical investigations have showed that the AFM cantilever can be used to push, cut, or pull nanosamples. However, AFM-based nanomanipulation suffers a lack of repeatability and controllability because of the complex mechanics in tip-sample interactions and the limitations in AFM visual sensing capabilities. In this paper, we will investigate the effects of the tip-sample interactions on nanopushing manipulation. We propose the use of an interaction model based on the Maugis–Dugdale contact mechanics. The efficacy of the proposed model to reproduce experimental observations is demonstrated via numerical simulations. In addition, the coupling between adhesion and friction at the nanoscale is analyzed.
