SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Forces between mica surfaces in N2 have been measured. The observed forces appear to be electrostatic in nature, indicating that when cleaved in air the mica retains a residual charge. An inverse square of the distance dependence is observed, consistent with Coulomb's law (point charges), for the flat-plate geometry.
