Directional commensurability stabilizes structural superlubricity in patterned mesoscale interfaces
Viet Hung Ho, Ge Li, Melisa M. Gianetti +3
Structural superlubricity, arising from lattice incommensurability, offers a promising route to eliminate friction and associated energy losses in mechanical systems. In real-world…
Nonuniform pressure helps structural superlubricity
Melisa M. Gianetti, Viet Hung Ho, Bjørn Haugen +2
Structural superlubricity, nearly vanishing friction between two structurally incommensurate crystalline surfaces, is a promising avenue for reducing friction in applications, but…
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…
Electric-field frictional effects in confined zwitterionic molecules
Melisa M. Gianetti, Roberto Guerra, Andrea Vanossi +2
We theoretically explore the effect of a transverse electric field on the frictional response of a bi-layer of packed zwitterionic molecules. The dipole-moment reorientation promot…
Thermal Friction Enhancement in Zwitterionic Monolayers
Melisa M. Gianetti, Roberto Guerra, Andrea Vanossi +2
We introduce a model for zwitterionic monolayers and investigate its tribological response to changes in applied load, sliding velocity, and temperature by means of molecular-dynam…
Computational investigation of structure, dynamics and nucleation kinetics of a family of modified Stillinger-Weber model fluids in bulk and free-standing thin films
Melisa M Gianetti, Amir Haji-Akbari, M. Paula Longinotti +1
In recent decades, computer simulations have found increasingly widespread use as powerful tools of studying phase transitions in wide variety of systems. In the particular and ver…
