Melting and nonmelting of solid surfaces and nanosystems

U. Tartaglino, T. Zykova-Timan, F. Ercolessi +1

We present an extensive but concise review of our present understanding, largely based on theory and simulation work from our group, on the equilibrium behavior of solid surfaces a…

Rubber friction on wet and dry road surfaces: the sealing effect

B. N. J. Persson, U. Tartaglino, O. Albohr +1

Rubber friction on wet rough substrates at low velocities is typically 20-30% smaller than for the corresponding dry surfaces. We show that this cannot be due to hydrodynamics and…

NaCl nanodroplet on NaCl(100) at the melting point

T. Zykova-Timan, U. Tartaglino, D. Ceresoli +2

The self-wetting properties of ionic crystal surfaces are studied, using NaCl(100) as a prototype case. The anomalously large contact angle measured long ago by Mutaftschiev is wel…
