Mesophases in Nearly 2D Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids
N. Manini, M. Cesaratto, M. G. Del Popolo +1
Computer simulations of (i) a [C12mim][Tf2N] film of nanometric thickness squeezed at kbar pressure by a piecewise parabolic confining potential reveal a mesoscopic in-plane densit…
Solitons and exact velocity quantization of incommensurate sliders
Nicola Manini, Marco Cesaratto, Giuseppe E. Santoro +2
We analyze in some detail the recently discovered velocity quantization phenomena in the classical motion of an idealized one-dimensional solid lubricant, consisting of a harmonic…
Hysteresis from dynamically pinned sliding states
Andrea Vanossi, Giuseppe E. Santoro, Nicola Manini +2
We report a surprising hysteretic behavior in the dynamics of a simple one-dimensional nonlinear model inspired by the tribological problem of two sliding surfaces with a thin soli…
Kink plateau dynamics in finite-size lubricant chains
Marco Cesaratto, Nicola Manini, Andrea Vanossi +2
We extend the study of velocity quantization phenomena recently found in the classical motion of an idealized 1D model solid lubricant -- consisting of a harmonic chain interposed…
