On the flash temperature in sliding contacts
M. H. Müser, B. N. J. Persson
The temperature increase in the contact regions between solids in sliding contact can easily reach several hundred Kelvin and thereby dramatically affect friction and wear. The cla…
Brittleness of metallic glasses dictated by their state at the fragile-to-strong transition temperature
Achraf Atila, Sergey V. Sukhomlinov, Marc J. Honecker +1
The effect of cooling on the brittleness of glasses in general, and bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) in particular, is usually studied with continuously varying cooling rates; slower c…
Structural Lubricity and Molecular Contamination: Rejuvenation, Aging, and Friction Switches
Wai H. Oo, Hongyu Gao, Martin H. Müser +1
Using atomic force microscopy experiments and molecular dynamics simulations of gold nanoislands on graphite, we investigate why ultra-small friction commonly associated with struc…
Cold self-lubrication of sliding ice
Achraf Atila, Sergey V. Sukhomlinov, Martin H. Müser
The low kinetic friction between ice and numerous counterbodies is commonly attributed to an interfacial water layer, which is believed to originate from pre-existing surface water…
The surface-topography challenge: Problem definition
Tevis D. B. Jacobs, Nathaniel Miller, Martin H. Müser +1
We present to the community a surface-definition problem, whose solution we consider to be critical for the proper description of contacts between nominally flat surfaces [1,2]. In…
Improved cutoff functions for short-range potentials and the Wolf summation
Martin H. Müser
A class of radial, polynomial cutoff functions for short-ranged pair potentials or related expressions is proposed. Their derivatives up to order and …
