Lubricated friction between incommensurate substrates
Andrea Vanossi, Giuseppe E. Santoro, Nicola Manini +2
This paper is part of a study of the frictional dynamics of a confined solid lubricant film - modelled as a one-dimensional chain of interacting particles confined between two idea…
Static friction on the fly: velocity depinning transitions of lubricants in motion
A. Vanossi, N. Manini, F. Caruso +2
The dragging velocity of a model solid lubricant confined between sliding periodic substrates exhibits a phase transition between two regimes, respectively with quantized and with…
Gold Clusters Sliding on Graphite: a Possible Quartz Crystal Microbalance Experiment?
Stoyan Pisov, Erio Tosatti, Ugo Tartaglino +1
A large measured 2D diffusion coefficient of gold nanoclusters on graphite has been known experimentally and theoretically for about a decade. When subjected to a lateral force, th…
