Microscale Schottky superlubric generator with high direct-current density and ultralong life
Nature Communications, 2021 It is difficult to achieve high current density and long lifetime for micro generators owing to the common friction and wear. Here the authors invent a microscale Schottky superlubric generator to tackle this issue, reporting not only high current and ...

Optical probes of molecules as nano-mechanical switches [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 AbstractMolecular electronics promises a new generation of ultralow-energy information technologies, based around functional molecular junctions. Here, we report optical probing that exploits a gold nanoparticle in a plasmonic nanocavity geometry used as one terminal of a well-defined molecular junction, deposited as a self-assembled molecular ...

Robust microscale structural superlubricity between graphite and nanostructured surface
Nature Communications, 2023 Structural superlubricity is a state of nearly zero friction and no wear between two contacted solid surfaces. However, such state has a certain probability of failure due to the edge defects of graphite flake.
