Strongly Temperature Dependent Sliding Friction for a Superconducting Interface

open access: yes, 1999
A sudden drop in mechanical friction, between an adsorbed nitrogen monolayer and a lead substrate, occurs when the lead passes through the superconducting transition temperature. We attribute this effect to a sudden drop at the superconducting transition

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 ...

Controllable Nanotribological Properties of Graphene Nanosheets [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
AbstractGraphene as one type of well-known solid lubricants possesses different nanotribological properties, due to the varied surface and structural characteristics caused by different preparation methods or post-processes. Graphene nanosheets with controllable surface wettability and structural defects were achieved by plasma treatment and thermal ...

Surface forces dominating tribological phenomena in nanoconfined liquids: A review

open access: yesFriction
Friction is ubiquitous and plays a key role in the functionality of many biological and engineering systems, from articular cartilage to machinery. While friction facilitates motion, it also causes wear and energy loss in moving parts.
