Striped twisted state in the orientational epitaxy on quasicrystals

Nicola Manini, Mario Forzanini, Sebastiano Pagano +9

The optimal "twisted" geometry of a crystalline layer on a crystal is long known, but that on a quasicrystal is still unknown and open. We predict analytically that the layer equil…

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…

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…

Effective stick-slip parameter for structurally lubric 2D interface friction

Jin Wang, Andrea Vanossi, Erio Tosatti

The wear-free sliding of layers or flakes of graphene-like 2D materials, important in many experimental systems, may occur either smoothly or through stick-slip, depending on drivi…

Rheological softening of metal nanocontacts sheared under oscillatory strains

Ali Khosravi, Jin Wang, Andrea Silva +2

The way metal interfaces evolve during frictional sliding, and how that evolution can be externally influenced under external drivers are important questions, hard to investigate e…

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…
