Chemical effects on the sliding friction of Ag and Au(111)
We have investigated the sliding friction behavior of metallic couples with different enthalpy of mixing or reaction by friction force microscopy. Comparing the friction behavior of miscible and immiscible couples we find that in the first case friction ...

Nanotribology of metallic glasses in corrosive environments [PDF]
Metallic glasses (MGs) are promising materials for micromechanical systems, where miniaturized components involving mechanical contact require control of friction.

Friction vs. Area Scaling of Superlubric NaCl-Particles on Graphite
Structural lubricity is an intriguing tribological concept, where extremely low friction is anticipated, if two surfaces in relative motion do not share the same lattice structure and consequently instabilities originating from interlocking surface ...

Importance of surface oxide for the tribology of a Zr-based metallic glass
Thermally grown surface oxide layers dominate the single-asperity tribological behavior of a Zr60Cu30Al10 glass. Increase in oxidation time leads to an increased contribution of shearing and a corresponding decreased contribution of ploughing to friction.

Velocity dependence of sliding friction on a crystalline surface
We introduce and study a minimal 1D model for the simulation of dynamic friction and dissipation at the atomic scale. This model consists of a point mass (slider) that moves over and interacts weakly with a linear chain of particles interconnected by ...

Rigorous derivation of diffusion equation for submonolayer lubricant film
In magnetic hard disk drives, it is important to secure the stability and durability of head–disk interface in relation to a submonolayer lubricant film because the spacing between a head and lubricant surface has to be reduced to ~0.5 nm to achieve a ...
