Low friction and rotational dynamics of crystalline flakes in solid lubrication
A. S. de Wijn, A. Fasolino, A. E. Filippov +1
Solids at incommensurate contact display low-friction, 'superlubric', sliding. For graphene flakes on a graphite surface, superlubric sliding is only temporary due to rotation of t…
Relating chaos to deterministic diffusion of a molecule adsorbed on a surface
Astrid S. de Wijn, Annalisa Fasolino
Chaotic internal degrees of freedom of a molecule can act as noise and affect the diffusion of the molecule on a substrate. A separation of time scales between the fast internal dy…
Stability of superlubric sliding on graphite
Astrid S. de Wijn, Claudio Fusco, Annalisa Fasolino
Recent AFM experiments have shown that the low-friction sliding of incommensurate graphite flakes on graphite can be destroyed by torque-induced rotations. Here we theoretically in…
