  Friction measurements in the range of several meters per second are still of
great interests. With the atomic force microscopy (AFM), the oscilaltion
situation of the quartz crystal resonators of 3MHz resonance frequency are
studied. And the oscillation speed could reach up to several m/s. Then the
friction measurements are carried out on the Fischer Pattern, which is prepared
on the quartz crystal resonator. In this article, we present how to measure the
oscillation speeds of the quartz crystal resonator and the friction
measurements under different designs. Calibration method and the calculation
methods are also discussed in details. Although there are errors in the AFM
measurements due to the setup itself and the oscillating quartz which could
highly affect the sharpness of the cantilever tip, the results indicate that
the local friction coefficients with oscillation are higher than that without
oscillation.
