The role of lubricant molecular shape in microscopic friction
Oleg M. Braun, Nicola Manini, Erio Tosatti
With the help of a simple two-dimensional model we simulate the tribological properties of a thin lubricant film consisting of linear (chain) molecules in the ordinary soft-lubrica…

Rack-and-pinion effects in molecular rolling friction
Oleg M. Braun, Erio Tosatti
Rolling lubrication with spherical molecules working as 'nanobearings' has failed experimentally so far, without a full understanding of the physics involved and of the reasons why…
