Current trends in the physics of nanoscale friction
N. Manini, G. Mistura, G. Paolicelli +2
Tribology, which studies surfaces in contact and relative motion, includes friction, wear, and lubrication, straddling across different fields: mechanical engineering, materials sc…
Deviation of viscous drops at chemical steps
Ciro Semprebon, Silvia Varagnolo, Daniele Filippi +4
We present systematic wetting experiments and numerical simulations of gravity driven liquid drops sliding on a plane substrate decorated with a linear chemical step. Surprisingly,…
Frictional Transition from Superlubric Islands to Pinned Monolayers
Matteo Pierno, Lorenzo Bruschi, Giampaolo Mistura +6
The inertial sliding of physisorbed submonolayer islands on crystal surfaces contains unexpected information on the exceptionally incommensurate smooth sliding state associated wit…
