Lateral vibration effects in atomic-scale friction
R. Roth, O. Y. Fajardo, J. J. Mazo +2
The influence of lateral vibrations on the stick-slip motion of a nanotip elastically pulled on a flat crystal surface is studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements on a…
Out-of-plane and in-plane actuation effects on atomic-scale friction
O. Y. Fajardo, E. Gnecco, J. J. Mazo
The influence of out-of-plane and in-plane contact vibrations and temperature on the friction force acting on a sharp tip elastically pulled on a crystal surface is studied using a…
Decoherence of the Superconducting Persistent Current Qubit
Lin Tian, L. S. Levitov, Caspar H. van der Wal +5
Decoherence of a solid state based qubit can be caused by coupling to microscopic degrees of freedom in the solid. We lay out a simple theory and use it to estimate decoherence for…
