Frictionless nanohighways on crystalline surfaces
Emanuele Panizon, Andrea Silva, Xin Cao +5
The understanding of friction at nano-scales, ruled by the regular arrangement of atoms, is surprisingly incomplete. Here we provide a unified understanding by studying the interlo…
Moiré-pattern evolution couples rotational and translational friction at crystalline interfaces
Xin Cao, Andrea Silva, Emanuele Panizon +4
The sliding motion of objects is typically governed by their friction with the underlying surface. Compared to translational friction, however, rotational friction has received muc…
Pervasive orientational and directional locking at geometrically heterogeneous sliding interfaces
Xin Cao, Emanuele Panizon, Andrea Vanossi +3
Understanding the drift motion and dynamical locking of crystalline clusters on patterned substrates is important for the diffusion and manipulation of nano- and micro-scale object…
