Influence of AFM Tip Temperature on THF Hydrate Stability: Theoretical Model and Numerical Simulation

<div>The numerical simulation results of the local temperature distribution around the contact interface, at conditions of the contact radius of 10 nm and THF hydrate temperature of -10°C. (a) The distance of 32 <i>μ</i>m between the laser spot and tip. (b) The distance increases to 57 <i>μ</i>m and the laser intensity weakened to 30%.</div>
