Striped twisted state in the orientational epitaxy on quasicrystals
Nicola Manini, Mario Forzanini, Sebastiano Pagano +9
The optimal "twisted" geometry of a crystalline layer on a crystal is long known, but that on a quasicrystal is still unknown and open. We predict analytically that the layer equil…
Analytic understanding and control of dynamical friction
Emanuele Panizon, Giuseppe E. Santoro, Erio Tosatti +2
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 s…
Friction Anomalies at First-Order Transition Spinodals: 1T-TaS
Emanuele Panizon, Torben Marx, Dirk Dietzel +4
Revealing phase transitions of solids through mechanical anomalies in the friction of nanotips sliding on their surfaces is an unconventional and instructive tool for continuous tr…
Ballistic thermophoresis of adsorbates on free-standing graphene
Emanuele Panizon, Roberto Guerra, Erio Tosatti
The textbook thermophoretic force which acts on a body in a fluid is proportional to the local temperature gradient. The same is expected to hold for the macroscopic drift behavior…
