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 ...

Rigorous derivation of diffusion equation for submonolayer lubricant film
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2018 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 ...

Structural lubricity under ambient conditions. [PDF]
, 2016 Despite its fundamental importance, physical mechanisms that govern friction are poorly understood. While a state of ultra-low friction, termed structural lubricity, is expected for any clean, atomically flat interface consisting of two different ...

Multifractal analysis of stress time series during ultrathin lubricant film melting [PDF]
, 2010 Melting of an ultrathin lubricant film confined between two atomically flat surfaces is we studied using the rheological model for viscoelastic matter approximation. Phase diagram with domains, corresponding to sliding, dry, and two types of $stick-slip$

Superlubricity - a new perspective on an established paradigm
, 2012 Superlubricity is a frictionless tribological state sometimes occurring in nanoscale material junctions. It is often associated with incommensurate surface lattice structures appearing at the interface.

Insight Into the Superlubricity and Self-Assembly of Liquid Crystals
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021 Liquid crystals are promising molecular materials in the application of lubrication. Herein, the microscale solid superlubricity is accomplished by the construction of uniform and ordered self-assembly of several liquid crystals.

Ground state wavefunction of the quantum Frenkel-Kontorova model
, 1999 The wavefunction of an incommensurate ground state for a one-dimensional discrete sine-Gordon model -- the Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) model -- at zero temperature is calculated by the quantum Monte Carlo method. It is found that the ground state wavefunction

Magnetic non-contact friction from domain wall dynamics actuated by oscillatory mechanical motion [PDF]
, 2019 Magnetic friction is a form of non-contact friction arising from the dissipation of energy in a magnet due to spin reorientation in a magnetic field.

Observation of Aubry transition in finite atom chains via friction
, 2015 The highly nonlinear many-body physics of a chain of mutually interacting atoms in contact with a periodic substrate gives rise to complex static and dynamical phenomena, such as structural phase transitions and friction.
