Size-dependent commensurability and its possible role in determining the frictional behavior of adsorbed systems
Paolo Restuccia, Mauro Ferrario, Pier Luigi Sivestrelli +2
Recent nanofriction experiments of xenon on graphene revealed that the slip onset can be induced by increasing the adsorbate coverage above a critical value, which depends on tempe…
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…
Thermolubricity of Xe monolayers on graphene
M. Pierno, L. Bignardi, M. C. Righi +6
The nanofriction of Xe monolayers deposited on graphene was explored with a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) at temperatures between 25 and 50 K. Graphene was grown by chemical va…
