ResponseWethankthereviewerforhis/hercomments.
Firstandforemost,itshouldbeemphasizedthatthequantificationofanyEFMresultsisverycomplicatedandchallenging.
Thisismainlyduetotheunknowncapacitancetermdeterminedbythetipandsamplegeometryandthelong-rangenatureofelectrostaticforce.
Theprecisecalculationoftip-samplecapacitanceisonlyachievablebynumericalmethods,andseveralcalibratedparametersadhoc(seeGomilaetal.
