Analytic understanding and control of dynamical friction
arXiv:1802.04509 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.97.104104
Abstract
Recent model simulations discovered unexpected non-monotonic features in the wear-free dry phononic friction as a function of the sliding speed. Here we demonstrate that a rather straight- forward application of linear-response theory, appropriate in a regime of weak slider-substrate in- teraction, predicts frictional one-phonon singularities which imply a non-trivial dependence of the dynamical friction force on the slider speed and/or coupling to the substrate. The explicit formula which we derive reproduces very accurately the classical atomistic simulations when available. By modifying the slider-substrate interaction the analytical understanding obtained provides a practical means to tailor and control the speed dependence of friction with substantial freedom.
