Manipulation of nanoparticles of different shapes inside a scanning electron microscope
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2014 In this work polyhedron-like gold and sphere-like silver nanoparticles (NPs) were manipulated on an oxidized Si substrate to study the dependence of the static friction and the contact area on the particle geometry.

Small Structures, Volume 5, Issue 10, October 2024.The relationship between the self‐associative properties of nucleosomes at the nanoscale and the micrometric structure of chromosomes is highlighted in this perspective. The multilayer chromosome model, in which the stacked structure is maintained by weak face‐to‐face interactions between nucleosomes in adjacent layers, is compatible with all the ...

Topographical and Tribological Characteristics of Asian Human Hair Cuticles
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 The topography and frictional force of Asian black male and female hair cuticles at different locations are determined using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and friction force microscopy (FFM). The frictional values, mapped for comparison with surface morphology, corresponded qualitatively with the structures’ plane surface characteristics.

Interlayer Friction and Adhesion Effects in Penta‐PdSe2‐Based van der Waals Heterostructures
Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 34, September 11, 2024.The greater the difference in ionicity between the two 2D materials comprising the sliding interfaces is, the lower the interlayer friction, providing key criteria for designing ultralow friction 2D material friction pairs. Abstract Due to their inherent lattice mismatch characteristics, 2D heterostructure interfaces are considered ideal for achieving ...

Nonmonotonic load‐dependence of friction during nanoparticle manipulation
Micro &Nano Letters, Volume 19, Issue 4, July 2024.The friction, wear and energy loss between two contact interfaces strongly depend on the motion state (sliding or rolling) of nanoparticles (NPs) when applied as nano‐additive in the fields of lubrication or ultra‐precision manufacturing. Here, the tests to manipulate single SiO2 nanoparticle (NP) on silicon surface using a nanoscale probe detected the

Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 19, May 22, 2024.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 ...

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