Squeezout phenomena and boundary layer formation of a model ionic liquid under confinement and charging
R. Capozza, A. Vanossi, A. Benassi +1
Electrical charging of parallel plates confining a model ionic liquid down to nanoscale distances yields a variety of charge-induced changes in the structural features of the confi…
Static friction scaling of physisorbed islands: the key is in the edge
Nicola Varini, Andrea Vanossi, Roberto Guerra +3
The static friction preventing the free sliding of nanosized rare gas solid islands physisorbed on incommensurate crystalline surfaces is not completely understood. Simulations mod…
Does Rotational Melting Make Molecular Crystal Surfaces More Slippery?
Andrea Benassi, Andrea Vanossi, Carlo A. Pignedoli +2
The surface of a crystal made of roughly spherical molecules exposes, above its bulk rotational phase transition at T= T, a carpet of freely rotating molecules, possibly functi…
Soliton dynamics in a solid lubricant during sliding friction
A. Vigentini, B. Van Hattem, E. Diato +6
Recent highly idealized model studies of lubricated nanofriction for two crystalline sliding surfaces with an interposed thin solid crystalline lubricant layer showed that the over…
