The effect of heat treatment on the morphology and mobility of Au nanoparticles

Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2020
In the present paper, we investigate the effect of heat treatment on the geometry and mobility of Au nanoparticles (NPs) on a Si substrate. Chemically synthesized Au NPs of diameter ranging from 5 to 27 nm were annealed at 200, 400, 600 and 800 °C for 1 ...

Ionic Liquid Adsorption and Nanotribology at the Silica–Oil Interface: Hundred-Fold Dilution in Oil Lubricates as Effectively as the Pure Ionic Liquid

, 2014
The remarkable physical properties of ionic liquids (ILs) make them potentially excellent lubricants. One of the challenges for using ILs as lubricants is their high cost.

Interactive Strength between C60 Thin Film and Si(001) and Its Influence on Nano-Scaled Tribology

Tribology Online, 2008
The influences of interactions between C60 thin films and Si substrates were investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM). It was found that higher friction coefficient was obtained at the C60 domains formed on the H-terminated Si(001) substrate and ...
