9. (1.5') Experiments in AFM requires the use of clean metallic surfaces for substrates. A simple way to test if an evaporated metal film is free from atmospheric contamination (due to adsorption of hydrocarbons from atmosphere) is to pace a drop of pure water on the metal and observe the equilibrium shape of the water drop. Which situation pictured above would indicated the cleanest metal surface?
