Chemical effects on the sliding friction of Ag and Au(111)
Friction, 2017 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 ...

Friction vs. Area Scaling of Superlubric NaCl-Particles on Graphite
Lubricants, 2019 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 ...

Macroscale Superlubricity on Nanoscale Graphene Moiré Structure-Assembled Surface via Counterface Hydrogen Modulation. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)By sphere‐triggered strain engineering, the graphene moiré structure (GMS)‐assembled surfaces are formed. The superlubricity between GMS‐assembled and DLC25 surfaces in wide ranges of normal load (7–11 N), sliding velocity (0.5–27 cm s−1), contact area (0.4×104–3.7×104 µm2), and contact pressure (0.19–1.82 GPa) can be achieved based on assembly face ...

Importance of surface oxide for the tribology of a Zr-based metallic glass
Friction, 2017 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.
