Velocity dependence of sliding friction on a crystalline surface
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2017 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 ...

International Journal of Electrochemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Modern aerospace composites still fall short in two respects, electrical conductivity and thermal dissipation, each a real constraint on multifunctional performance and each difficult to correct without a substantial weight penalty. Graphene, a two‐dimensional sp2‐carbon allotrope, has drawn sustained interest as a nanofiller for exactly this reason ...
