Stick-slip friction and nucleation dynamics of ultra-thin liquid films
arXiv:cond-mat/0101186 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.65.125402
Abstract
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 melting and freezing'' of the confined fluid. This model successfully accounts for observed phenomenology of friction in ultra-thin films, including periodic and chaotic sequences of slips, transitions from stick-slip motion to steady sliding.
