Dependence of boundary lubrication on the misfit angle between the sliding surfaces

open access: yes, 2010
Using molecular dynamics based on Langevin equations with a coordinate- and velocity-dependent damping coefficient, we study the frictional properties of a thin layer of "soft" lubricant (where the interaction within the lubricant is weaker than the ...

Pretreatment of lubricated surfaces with sputtered cadmium oxide [PDF]

open access: yes
Cadmium oxide is used with a dry solid lubricant on a surface to improve wear resistance. The surface topography is first altered by photochemical etching to a predetermined pattern. The cadmium oxide is then sputtered onto the altered surface to form an

Stick-slip friction and nucleation dynamics of ultra-thin liquid films

open access: yes, 2001
We develop the theory for stick-slip motion in ultra-thin liquid films confined between two moving atomically-flat surfaces. Our model is based on hydrodynamic equation for the flow coupled to the dynamic order parameter field describing the ``shear ...
