Can Neural Networks Learn Nanoscale Friction?
Mahboubeh Shabani, Andrea Silva, Franco Pellegrini +6
Current nanofriction experiments on crystals, both tip-on-surface and surface-on-surface, provide force traces as their sole output, typically exhibiting atomic size stick-slip osc…
The twisting dynamics of large lattice mismatch van der Waals heterostructures
Mengzhou Liao, Andrea Silva, Luojun Du +7
Van der Waals (vdW) homo-/hetero-structures are ideal systems for studying interfacial tribological properties such as structural superlubricity. Previous studies concentrated on t…
Emerging chirality and moiré dynamics in twisted layered material heterostructures
Andrea Silva, Xiang Gao, Melisa M. Gianetti +5
Moiré superstructures arising at twisted 2D interfaces have recently attracted the attention of the scientific community due to exotic quantum states and unique mechanical and trib…
Solid lubrication by wet-transferred solution-processed graphene flakes: dissipation mechanisms and superlubricity in mesoscale contacts
Renato Buzio, Andrea Gerbi, Cristina Bernini +3
Solution-processed few-layers graphene flakes, dispensed to rotating and sliding contacts via liquid dispersions, are gaining increasing attention as friction modifiers to achieve…
Bending Stiffness Collapse, Buckling, Topological Bands of Freestanding Twisted Bilayer Graphene
Jin Wang, Ali Khosravi, Andrea Silva +3
The freestanding twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) is unstable, below a critical twist angle θ_c~3.7 degrees, against a moire (2 \times 1) buckling distortion at T=0. Realistic simula…
Critical Peeling of Tethered Nanoribbons
Andrea Silva, Erio Tosatti, Andrea Vanossi
The peeling of an immobile adsorbed membrane is a well known problem in engineering and macroscopic tribology. In the classic setup, picking up at one extreme and pulling off resul…
