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…

Tribochemistry of graphene on iron and its possible role in lubrication of steel
Paolo Restuccia, M. C. Righi
Recent tribological experiments revealed that graphene is able to lubricate macroscale steel-on-steel sliding contacts very effectively both in dry and humid conditions. This effec…

A fundamental mechanism for carbon-film lubricity identified by means of ab initio molecular dynamics
Seiji Kajita, Maria Clelia Righi
Different hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mechanism for the extremely low friction coefficient of carbon coatings and its undesired dependence on air humidity. A decis…
