Current trends in the physics of nanoscale friction
N. Manini, G. Mistura, G. Paolicelli +2
Tribology, which studies surfaces in contact and relative motion, includes friction, wear, and lubrication, straddling across different fields: mechanical engineering, materials sc…
Graphene nanoribbons on gold: Understanding superlubricity and edge effects
Lorenzo Gigli, Nicola Manini, Andrea Benassi +3
We address the atomistic nature of the longitudinal static friction against sliding of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) deposited on gold, a system whose structural and mechanical prope…
Graphene on h-BN: to align or not to align?
Roberto Guerra, Merel van Wijk, Andrea Vanossi +2
The contact strength, adhesion and friction, between graphene and an incommensurate crystalline substrate such as {\it h}-BN depends on their relative alignment angle . The well…
Finite-temperature phase diagram and critical point of the Aubry pinned-sliding transition in a 2D monolayer
Davide Mandelli, Andrea Vanossi, Nicola Manini +1
The Aubry unpinned--pinned transition in the sliding of two incommensurate lattices occurs for increasing mutual interaction strength in one dimension () and is of second order…
