Sealing is at the Origin of Rubber Slipping on Wet Roads
B. N. J. Persson, U. Tartaglino, O. Albohr +1
Loss of braking power and rubber skidding on a wet road is still an open physics problem, since neither the hydrodynamical effects nor the loss of surface adhesion that are sometim…
Effect of electron correlations in Pd, Ni, and Co monowires
Malgorzata Wierzbowska, Anna Delin, Erio Tosatti
We investigated the effect of mean-field electron correlations on the band electronic structure of Co, Ni, and Pd ultra-thin monatomic nanowires, at the breaking point, by means of…
Electronic friction and liquid-flow-induced voltage in nanotubes
B. N. J. Persson, U. Tartaglino, E. Tosatti +1
A recent exciting experiment by Ghosh et al. reported that the flow of an ion-containing liquid such as water through bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes induces a voltage in…
Ballistic conductance of magnetic Co and Ni nanowires with ultrasoft pseudo-potentials
A. Smogunov, A. Dal Corso, E. Tosatti
The scattering-based approach for calculating the ballistic conductance of open quantum systems is generalized to deal with magnetic transition metals as described by ultrasoft pse…
Emerging Magnetism in Platinum Nanowires
Anna Delin, Erio Tosatti
We have investigated infinitely long, monostrand Pt nanowires theoretically, and found that they exhibit Hund's rule magnetism. We find a spin moment of 0.6 Bohr magnetons per atom…
Emerging nanomagnetism in 4d transition metal nanowires
Anna Delin, Erio Tosatti
Monatomic nanowires of the nonmagnetic transition metals Ru, Rh, and Pd have been studied theoretically, using first-principles computational techniques, in order to investigate th…
