Nondestructive tribochemistry-assisted nanofabrication on GaAs surface. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2015 AbstractA tribochemistry-assisted method has been developed for nondestructive surface nanofabrication on GaAs. Without any applied electric field and post etching, hollow nanostructures can be directly fabricated on GaAs surfaces by sliding a SiO2 microsphere under an ultralow contact pressure in humid air.

Tribochemistry as an Alternative Synthesis Pathway [PDF]
Lubricants, 2020 While reactions driven by mechanical force or stress can be labeled mechanochemical, those specifically occurring at a sliding interface inherit the name tribochemical, which stems from the study of friction and wear: tribology.

Strain-Induced Redistribution of Point Defects in ZnO Nanoparticles. [PDF]
Small SciPowder compaction generates local strain effects in ZnO nanoparticles. This alters the abundance of intrinsic point defects and impacts the semiconductor's electronic structure. Such changes were analyzed by a combination of spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations and emphasize the importance of strain effects in the design and ...

Friction and Wear Behavior of Laser-Induced Graphene Structures on Polyimide Films. [PDF]
Small SciThis study presents an investigation into the friction and wear behavior of laser‐induced graphene (LIG). Introducing line patterns of different sizes with this laser scribing approach results in a lowering of the coefficient of friction. The gradual wear of the protruding LIG patterns and the formation of wear debris are explored.

Self-Lubricating Tribo-Catalytic Activity of 2D High Entropy Alloy Nanoflakes. [PDF]
SmallThe 2D high entropy alloy (HEA) of (MoWNbTaV)0.2S2 is synthesized and investigated through ball‐on‐disk friction experiments. The unprecedentedly low average coefficients of friction (0.076) and wear rates (10−9 mm3 (N∙m)−1) under high contact pressures (0.936 GPa) within ambient conditions are demonstrated.
