Multislip Friction with a Single Ion
Ian Counts, Dorian Gangloff, Alexei Bylinskii +3
A trapped ion transported along a periodic potential is studied as a paradigmatic nanocontact frictional interface. The combination of the periodic corrugation potential and a harm…
Observation of Aubry transition in finite atom chains via friction
Alexei Bylinskii, Dorian Gangloff, Ian Counts +1
The highly nonlinear many-body physics of a chain of mutually interacting atoms in contact with a periodic substrate gives rise to complex static and dynamical phenomena, such as s…
Velocity tuning of friction with two trapped atoms
Dorian Gangloff, Alexei Bylinskii, Ian Counts +2
Friction is the basic, ubiquitous mechanical interaction between two surfaces that results in resistance to motion and energy dissipation. In spite of its technological and economi…
Tuning friction atom-by-atom in an ion-crystal simulator
Alexei Bylinskii, Dorian Gangloff, Vladan Vuletic
Friction between ordered, atomically smooth surfaces at the nanoscale (nanofriction) is often governed by stick-slip processes. To test long-standing atomistic models of such proce…
Suppression of Ion Transport due to Long-Lived Sub-Wavelength Localization by an Optical Lattice
Leon Karpa, Alexei Bylinskii, Dorian Gangloff +2
We report the localization of an ion by a one-dimensional optical lattice in the presence of an applied external force. The ion is confined radially by a radiofrequency trap and ax…
