Tribological Behavior of Very Thin Confined Films
Martin H. Muser
The tribological properties of two smooth surfaces in the presence of a thin confined film are investigated with a generic model for the interaction between two surfaces and with c…
Simulation of Material Properties Below the Debye Temperature: A Path-Integral Molecular Dynamics Case Study of Quartz
Martin H. Muser
Classical and path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) simulations are used to study alpha-quartz and beta-quartz in a large range of temperatures at zero external stress. PIMD acco…
Friction Laws for Elastic Nano-Scale Contacts
Ludger Wenning, Martin H. Muser
The effect of surface curvature on the law relating frictional forces F with normal load L is investigated by molecular dynamics simulations as a function of surface symmetry, adhe…
Elastic Constants of Quantum Solids by Path Integral Simulations
Philipp Schoffel, Martin H. Muser
Two methods are proposed to evaluate the second-order elastic constants of quantum mechanically treated solids. One method is based on path-integral simulations in the (NVT) ensemb…
Comment on: High-Pressure Elasticity of alpha-Quartz: Instability and Ferroelastic Transition
Martin H. Muser, Philipp Schoffel
We comment on the stability analysis of alpha-quartz under pressure by Gregoryanz et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 3117 (2000). The proper stability criterion for solids under pressure…
Computer Simulations of Friction, Lubrication and Wear
Mark O. Robbins, Martin H. Müser
An overview of computer simulations of tribology is presented. The chapter begins with a brief overview of simulation techniques and the special requirements for simulations of tri…
