Xsorb: a software for identifying the most stable adsorption configuration and energy of a molecule on a crystal surface
Enrico Pedretti, Paolo Restuccia, M. Clelia Righi
Molecular adsorption is the first important step of many surface-mediated chemical processes, from catalysis to tribology. This phenomenon is controlled by physical/chemical intera…
Surface passivation by graphene in the lubrication of iron: A comparison with bronze
Diego Marchetto, Paolo Restuccia, Antonio Ballestrazzi +3
It has been recently reported that graphene is able to significantly reduce the friction coefficient of steel-on-steel sliding contacts. The microscopic origin of this behavior has…
Graphene and MoS2 interacting with water: a comparison by ab initio calculations
Giacomo Levita, Paolo Restuccia, M. C. Righi
Although very similar in many technological applications, graphene and MoS2 bear significant differences if exposed to humid environments. As an example, lubrication properties of…
