Abstract
Historically new innovative tools always provide new opportunities to reveal new secrets of Mother Nature. An atomic force microscope (AFM) is such an innovative tool that allows one to study the local structures and properties of material at molecular levels, which may be difficult to study by classical ensemble average techniques such as optical microscopes. For this reason, since its invention, AFM has been one of the most important tools that lead current nanoscience and nanotechnology in many diverse areas including physics, chemistry, and biology. In this chapter, for the analysis of the AFM data, some basic theoretical models are discussed.
