Kinetic Friction of Structurally Superlubric 2D Material Interfaces
Jin Wang, Ming Ma, Erio Tosatti
The ultra-low kinetic friction F_k of 2D structurally superlubric interfaces, connected with the fast motion of the incommensurate moiré pattern, is often invoked for its linear in…
Accurate estimation of dynamical quantities for nonequilibrium nanoscale system
Zhi Xu, Han Li, Ming Ma
Fluctuations of dynamical quantities are fundamental and inevitable. For the booming research in nanotechnology, huge relative fluctuation comes with the reduction of system size,…
Rotational instability in superlubric joints
Cangyu Qu, Songlin Shi, Quanshui Zheng
Surface and interfacial energies play important roles in a number of instability phenomena in liquids and soft matters, but are rare to play a similar role in solids. Here we repor…
Friction and Adhesion mediated by supramolecular host-guest complexes
Roberto Guerra, Andrea Benassi, Andrea Vanossi +2
The adhesive and frictional response of an AFM tip connected to a substrate through supramolecular host-guest complexes is investigated by dynamic Monte Carlo simulations. The vari…
The breakdown of superlubricity by driving-induced commensurate dislocations
Andrea Benassi, Ming Ma, Michael Urbakh +1
In the framework of a Frenkel-Kontorova-like model, we address the robustness of the superlubricity phenomenon in an edge-driven system at large scales, highlighting the dynamical…
Critical length limiting super-low friction
Ming Ma, Andrea Benassi, Andrea Vanossi +1
Since the demonstration of super-low friction (superlubricity) in graphite at nanoscale, one of the main challenges in the field of nano- and micro-mechanics was to scale this phen…
