How do liquids confined at the nanoscale influence adhesion?
C. Yang, U. Tartaglino, B. N. J. Persson
Liquids play an important role in adhesion and sliding friction. They behave as lubricants in human bodies especially in the joints. However, in many biological attachment systems…
Effect of surface roughness and adsorbates on superlubricity
V. N. Samoilov, C. Yang, U. Tartaglino +1
We study the sliding of elastic solids in adhesive contact with flat and rough interfaces. We consider the dependence of the sliding friction on the elastic modulus of the solids.…
Resonant photon tunneling enhancement of the radiative heat transfer
A. I. Volokitin, B. N. J. Persson
We study the dependence of the heat transfer between two semi-infinite solids on the dielectric properties of the bodies. We show that the heat transfer at short separation between…
Radiative heat transfer between nanostructures
A. I. Volokitin, B. N. J. Persson
We simplify the formalism of Polder and Van Hove [Phys.Rev.B {\bf 4}, 3303(1971)], which was developed to calculate the heat transfer between macroscopic and nanoscale bodies of ar…
Dissipative Van der Waals interaction between a small particle and a metal surface
A. I. Volokitin, B. N. J. Persson
We use a general theory of the fluctuating electromagnetic field to calculate the friction force acting on a small neutral particle, e.g., a physisorbed molecule, or a nanoscale ob…
Adsorbate vibrational modes enhancement of radiative heat transfer and van der Waals friction
A. I. Volokitin, B. N. J. Persson
We study the dependence of the heat transfer and the van der Waals friction between two semi-infinite solids on the dielectric properties of the bodies. We show that the heat trans…
