Amplitude Nanofriction Spectroscopy
Antoine Lainé, Andrea Vanossi, Antoine Niguès +2
Atomic scale friction, an indispensable element of nanotechnology, requires a direct access to, under actual growing shear stress, its successive live phases: from static pinning,…
Nanotribology of ionic liquids: transition to yielding response in nanometric confinement with metallic surfaces
Antoine Lainé, Antoine Niguès, Lydéric Bocquet +1
Room Temperature Ionic Liquids (RTILs) are molten salts which exhibit uniques physical and chemical properties, commonly harnessed for lubrication and energy applications. The pure…
Atomic rheology of gold nanojunctions
Jean Comtet, Antoine Lainé, Antoine Niguès +2
Despite extensive investigations of dissipation and deformation processes in micro- and nano- sized metallic samples, the mechanisms at play during deformation of systems with ulti…
Ultrafast photomechanical transduction through thermophoretic implosion
Nikita Kavokine, Shuangyang Zou, Ruibin Liu +3
Since the historical experiments of Crookes, the direct manipulation of matter by light has been both a challenge and a source of scientific debate. Here we show that laser illumin…
Mechanically activated ionic transport across single-digit carbon nanotubes
Alice Marcotte, Timothée Mouterde, Antoine Niguès +2
Fluid and ionic transport at nanoscale recently highlighted a wealth of exotic behaviours. However, the artificial nanofluidic devices are still far from the advanced functionaliti…
Nanorheology of interfacial water during ice gliding
L. Canale, J. Comtet, A. Nigues +4
The slipperiness of ice is an everyday-life phenomenon which, surprisingly, remains controversial despite a long scientific history. The very small friction measured on ice is clas…
