Nanotribology of anti-friction coatings in MEMS

open access: yes, 2005
The polysilicon surfaces used to manufacture microelectromechanical systems are often coated with organic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) to reduce the adhesion and friction.

Effect of normal load and roughness on the nanoscale friction coefficient in the elastic and plastic contact regime

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2013
The influence of applied normal load and roughness on the tribological behavior between the indenter and sample surface during nanoindentation-based scratching has been experimentally investigated by using different surfaces (fused silica and diamond ...

Contact size effects on the friction and wear of amorphous carbon films

open access: yesApplied Surface Science Advances, 2022
Since different properties of coating systems influence their friction and wear at different length scales contact size can play a critical role in microtribological experiments.

On nanotribology modeling [PDF]

open access: yesComputational Continuum Mechanics, 2008
Предложена новая модель трения на наноуровне, представляющая собой обобщение классических моделей Томлинсона и Френкеля–Конторовой на случай учета дальнодействия в рамках теории центральных парных взаимодействий. Построены численные решения задач об определении сил трения, распределений сил и перемещений в деформируемой цепочке для разных моделей ...

Self-assembled structures of alkanethiols on gold-coated cantilever tips and substrates for atomic force microscopy : molecular organisation and conditions for reproducible deposition

open access: yes, 2010
Measurements of surface-liquid interactions (contact-angle goniometry) and tip-surface adhesion forces (atomic force microscopy) combined with infrared spectroscopic studies have been used to investigate surface-preparation and solution-deposition ...

Diffusion equation for spreading and replenishment in submonolayer lubricant film

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2014
In magnetic hard disk drives, it is important to evaluate head wear durability in relation to lubricant layer because the head-disk spacing has to be reduced to ~1nm to achieve a high density recording above 1 Tb/in2.
