Observation of Aubry transition in finite atom chains via friction
, 2015 The highly nonlinear many-body physics of a chain of mutually interacting atoms in contact with a periodic substrate gives rise to complex static and dynamical phenomena, such as structural phase transitions and friction.

Atomistics of superlubricity [PDF]
Friction, 2014 Abstract Friction is a phenomenon observed ubiquitously in daily life, yet its nature is complicated. Friction between rough surfaces is considered to arise primarily because of macroscopic roughness. In contrast, interatomic forces dominate between clean and smooth surfaces.

Experimental advances in superlubricity [PDF]
Friction, 2014 Abstract Superlubricity, or structural lubricity, is a state that has two contacting surfaces exhibiting no resistance to sliding. This effect has been theoretically described to be possible between two completely clean single crystalline solid surfaces.

Computational investigation of the temperature influence on the cleavage of a graphite surface [PDF]
, 2010 Mechanical exfoliation of a graphite surface with an adhesive nanoasperity is studied under different temperatures ranging from 298 K to 2 K using classical molecular dynamics. Two types of the interlayer interaction are investigated.

Lubrication Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In recent years, doped diamond‐like carbon (DLC) coatings combined with functionalised copolymers have gained attention as a lubrication concept. While silicon‐doped DLC has been widely studied, polymer‐assisted lubrication on other doped DLC systems remains less explored.

Out-of-plane and in-plane actuation effects on atomic-scale friction [PDF]
, 2014 The influence of out-of-plane and in-plane contact vibrations and temperature on the friction force acting on a sharp tip elastically pulled on a crystal surface is studied using a generalized Prandtl- Tomlinson model.

Breaking the 2‐nm Barrier in Hard Disk Drives Using Monolayer Amorphous Carbon Overcoats
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 15, 12 March 2026.The rapid growth of AI has increased demand for large‐scale data storage, making HDDs indispensable in data centers. Increasing areal storage density is crucial, but limited by the traditional carbon overcoats (COC). Monolayer amorphous carbon (MAC) offers a superior alternative.

High‐Performance Self‐Powered Sensing System for Power Grid Applications
Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 3, March 2026.This study presents a lateral swing electromagnetic generator (LS‐EMG) for harvesting overhead transmission line vibration energy. With a compact 24.32 cm3 volume, it achieves 2.28 mW output power and 93.75 µW/cm3 power density. A self‐powered wireless sensor system was developed using this generator, enabling real‐time temperature and humidity ...

Static and Dry Friction due to Multiscale Surface Roughness
, 2008 It is shown on the basis of scaling arguments that a disordered interface between two elastic solids will quite generally exhibit static and "dry friction" (i.e., kinetic friction which does not vanish as the sliding velocity approaches zero), because of
